Sent to me by Howard Huebner - 82nd Airborne

 

National Airborne Day

 

This note was sent to him:

 

I am passing this "noble act" on to all of you !!!! Vivian Roger, Association U. S. Normandie

 

Since the Fiftieth Anniversary of Charlie's death, the Town of Grand Island NY, has been Proclaiming August 16th as National Airborne Day. The Airborne Community is attempting to get this Day proclaimed on a permanent status by Congress and the President.

 

NO DISRESPECT MENT AT ALL--BUT-- IF THERE IS AN AIRBORNE DAY THERE SHOULD

ALSO BE AN INFANTRY DAY, (COMBAT INFANTRY). 34th divn. over 600 days combat, can

the 82nd match it? I am with Joe on this. this is for two,(2) proud dogface G.Is'
