1/325 Airborne Infantry,. 1979-1985. Awesome dedication. Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks to all my brothers of Airborne divisions, past and present. Once Airborne, always Airborne.
Song of the Airborne I trust my life to silk and nylon cords that promise to suspend me from the sky. I trust the weeks of training that awards the silver wings that money cannot buy to every volunteer who stays the course, like every paratrooper has before. I trust them all, their strength; I know its source. I’d follow them in peace or bloody war. Stand up, the door is open; check your line. The light is red, but soon it will be green. Your courage is the courage you define by leading from above, by being seen! The eyes of generations look to us, the strength of Airborne, keepers of the trust! Note: I wrote Song of the Airborne because Blood Upon the Risers (Gory Gory What A Hell Of A Way To Die) is about stupidity and death, 2 things I never learned from my Airborne experience.
I really dig this song. I would love to see silver wings pinned to my son's chest someday. But with the insane foreign policy of the government in Washington, DC today,I don't know. I just don't know...
2/508 INF ABN 72-75 AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY FOREVER AND A DAY. Tell St. Peter at that the Gates of Heaven that you don't need any WINGS you have already EARNED yours.
My family has ties to Special Forces and I do not remember half my life because of what happened to me in the Siege of Sarajevo in May 1992 when I was 16. My cousin was 82nd Airborne and 10th Mountain in Panama. I am half Czechoslovakian American and my family fought against the Nazis in the Resistance.
Me, i was in CSC 1/509th Infantry ( Airborne ) 81-84 & 4th / 325 Infantry regiment .Did you get german jump wings jumping from a CH- 53 ? In 1982 ? Geronimo! Sambuca Blast 🍾🍷👊👍I got there the exact month that the Red brigades kidnapped BG. James L. Dozier Nov.1981 AIRBORNE !
@@berzerker1100 Greetings. Yes I went about 20 others to German jump exchange sometime in 1982. The five jumps were from a CH-53. I also remember the runs to Monte Berico and all those steps going up to the top of that mountain! Then in July of 1983 it was reflagged to the 4/325th and Alpha company was sent to Ft. Bragg.
@@johnblack3604 Yep, I got my german jump wings in 1982, Nukem Needham always had us running 🏃♀️, even after a night of partying at September's 🍸 bar ,I was in Redeye platoon Then we later got Stinger missiles, I fired one in Crete Greece 🇬🇷 I miss Vicenza italy 🇮🇹 I would like to go tour around there one day & I remember that change of command in the North 40 from 1/ 509th to 4/325. AIRBORNE 🇺🇲🪂🪖💥
@@berzerker1100 I always liked how Lt. Colonel Nukem Needham would go and say good bye to everyone that was ETS. Did you ever get guard duty at the BLSA site? There was the large circle guard, small circle and the roaming guard. I also miss being stationed at Vicenza Italy, it was a good duty post. I was in Alpha company, but because I was only a few weeks from ending term of service. I just stayed there. We had just returned from being in Turkey.
@johnblack3604 I remember the Turkey exercise in June 1983, I have a small clipping from stars & stripes newspaper , it didn't seem to make big news lol.. If I remember right the exercise was called " Eastern express " or (adventure express 83) ?? some of us were flown to Incerlik Air base, & some guys I heard went by sea ferry & railhead to South Turkey 🇹🇷 to be with the vehicles, I flew on the C-141 starlifter, then they bussed us to where we had to go. Yep, BLSA guard duty in a little town/ Hamlet called Tormeno. Also, one time in one of the little buildings in blsa, they used it for a makeshift/ temporary morgue when one of the 509 guy got Killed/ hit by a car coming back to post on a very thick foggy night so sad RIP to that Geronimo 🙏
My first job was my first plane ride in 1963 I was in the hundred and first when Kennedy got shot and we sat on the runway for 2 days with c-130s engines running and loaded to go who-knows-where. I was very fortunate during my time in the Army to have jumped c-119, c-123, c-124 C-130 Banana Boat helicopter and the Canadian beaver I had no malfunctions in the military only malfunction was skydiving
I miss that feeling of exiting the door and the brotherhood of the silk.

Wow.. this is proud the AIRBORNE
so proud of my little boy. He made it last week.
Please pass my congrats to him!
So proud of you, to raise another young Trooper.
May he be well in all things, and never too far from home.
Well, he ain't a little boy anymore, is he?
Good for him, but this song is patriotic crap. I don't know any paras that would listen to this hillbilly crap.
Big man now...

Song of the Airborne
