National Airborne Day - August 16, 2016

[18ncs]

My cousin, Col. Sid Leak posted this on his FB. Retired Chaplin, 82nd Airborne.
I did not realize he had been at a get together about 3 weeks ago at an Elks Lodge in Alington until he had left town. I would have asked if anyone on here was going to be there.

Also had an Uncle who commanded the 551 PIB and was KIA in Rochelinval Belgium, 1-7-1945

Thank you to all who served!
