If you have ever been a part of this storied unit you can use the resources available to us to create your own Custom 101st Airborne Division Ring.
The 101st has the nickname of “Screaming Eagles” and has a rich military history. It is best known for its exploits during the Normandy Operation and the Battle of the Bulge in WWII. When you see the old war movies which I could never get enough of as a child (and even now). Many times the 101st was the unit being portrayed.
The 101st was origionally an Airborne (paratrooper) division but during the Vietnam War it was changed to an Airmoble (transports its troops by helicopter) Division. The 101st has also seen action in Operations: Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom. The division has also served in humanitarian efforts in Rwanda, and Somalia.
The 101st is located in Fort campbell Kentucky and is the home of the Air Assault school. We have written about the school in previous posts and will probably write about it again in the near future.
