All The Way! Airborne!

I received a copy of this book today about the 82nd Airborne Division's History from it's forming in 1917 to the present. I served in the 82nd from 1982-1984 with the 1st Squadron (Air) 17th Cavalry Regiment as an Infantry Scout and door gunner aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk when we went down to Grenada in late 1983 in Operation "Urgent Fury". My youngest son served in the 2nd Battalion 508th PIR 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan twice in 2008-2009-2010. I had other relatives in the "All Americans during WWII as well. Glad to have this book for reminiscing. I am proud of having served in the 82nd over 40 years ago.
