In recognition of the first U.S. Army Airborne Parachute jump, August 16,1940, today is known as #NationalAirborneDay or for us #AnotherGreatDayInTheAA!!! On 14 August 2002, it was officially declared by the President of the United States that August 16th would forever be known as National Airborne Day. Our Paratroopers continue to carry on this proud legacy and storied tradition, and stand ready to jump, fight and win anywhere in the world in 18-hours. It's what defines us. It's who we are. Hap
