"Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?"       Grandpa said, "No....but I served in a company of heroes."

COMPANY D   16th  ARMOR   173d  AIRBORNE BRIGADE
THE 2018 5TH REUNION WAS HELD IN THE NATION'S CAPITOL


A VISIT TO THE WALL
​

For those visiting for first time:  trepidation, angst, unsettled emotions.

For those returning:  a permanent connection to brothers lost so many years ago.
​

For all:  a Company of airborne soldiers with an eternal bond.
