My Grandfather was Rex Biby first forward scout 82nd.he was a staff sergeant. Made all 4 jumps and hated white sheets till the day he died in 1973. At the age of 47. He was 17 when he went in. And an old man when he got home. I love him and am very proud of him. Hes my hero so to speak..along with any vet who fought and died for my Country.God bless them all.
If anybody out there is reading this , I'm English but have lived in France for 20 years, and this evening I went to a local bar . I was about to leave when in walked a guy wearing an 82nd Airborne cap. I asked him if he was American , but , no, he was French, maybe mid 30's. You are still remembered here in France , 82 nd
❤️
That makes me feel good. My Grandpa was there.
Qui pourrait oublier ?
Personne car c'est notre passé commun
My uncle and namesake was sgt. John Payet .a boxer from Paterson, N J., 82nd airborne, 508th Red Devils, made it all the way to 25DEC44 when he was KIA at the Bulge. The greatest generation!
Awesome Presentation! You gotta love the 82'nd!
Bill Windom was 508th and 82nd with action in Normandy, Market Garden, Bulge and Hurtgen Forest. He said the only thing he ever took seriously in life was the war. While sitting in a foxhole, he decided that if he survived he would become an actor, and lucky for us he did. He also said he would pamper his feet after marching in boots. Even when working on tv or films he wore sandals or moccasins. He hated dress shoes.
As an infantryman you learn very early on to take care of your feet above all else. They are your mobility, defense and offense. 29 years later as an 82nd ABN Infantryman I take care of my feet, refuse to wear damp socks or shoes unless I have to. :) It's a thing with us.

Dad was 82nd, 505 during WW2. Went on to be an E-8, 30 years.
My Dad Sam Jacobs was 82nd and 101st. He was in the 508th Red Devils, Co.H, in WW2. Great video, Thanks. JJ USN VF-142 75-79 F-14 Tomcats
Those troopers that rowed and paddled across the Waal river were as brave if not braver than the troopers that came ashore on D-Day. What hell they went through, amazing that any survived and made it to the other side to continue the assault. Yeah I know this was about the Bulge, but the battle of Nijmegen just preceded the Ardennes assault by the germans by about 30 or so days.

AIRBORNE!!!
0:24 uh alright then
Tenho uma medalhão,82nd Airborne divsion.quanto vale,?para colecionadores.
As of Oct. 2021 only 4% of the WW2 veterans are left. Got to be less than 4% of paratroopers, like my
2 uncle's of 82nd and 101 St. Those guys took horrific casualties. For double pay, "Blood money!" they called it. $100 a month, a lot back then, if you lived.
My father Lamont Smith was In the 505 North Africa Sicily D Day and all the way to Germany where he was wounded
Dad did the same thing Ryan. Was wounded in Italy and Normandy. He recovered and fought all the way to the end of the war. Retired in '72 as an E-8, Master Jump Instructor.
He was 505 too.
He ended up with 3 purple hearts (2 from WW2 and 1 from 'Nam), Silver Star and Bronze Star too. He never spoke about his experiences until he knew he was dying. Was amazing what he told me about WW2, Korea and 'Nam (2 tours there). Never forgave me for joining the Navy during 'Nam. When I got drafted he was in Saigon on Westmoreland's staff (who he said was the stupidest fucking general he ever met) and said he was going to make me a paratrooper like him. I said, "Dad, I've never said anything but I never understood why you would jump out of perfectly good working airplanes."
Was your dad in Market Garden too?
Absolutely baed
How many of them left something behind that is not death man but are bondel of joy of some kind around Europe when did have time of quite and peace. ???? And this after War war one that sure left out some living behind more ways then one around Europe and where else???l
Funny also all parts of the world with it also not only religious beliefs and whatever else
