The 173d Airborne Brigade National Memorial

The 173d Airborne Brigade National Memorial is a work in progress. The memorial will honor more than 1,700 sky soldiers who have died in battle as well as recognize the brigade, which has been instrumental in American military operations in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Names of the 1,643 members of the 173rd Airborne who died in Vietnam will be listed along with 59 others who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as all future casualties.

The 173rd Airborne Brigade Memorial Foundation, a non-profit organization, is continuing its fund-raising efforts with all donations being used to build and maintain the memorial.
