On June 6, 1944, forever on known as D-Day, the 82nd Airborne Division jumped into history as more than 12,000 All American glider and parachute infantry took part in the Airborne assault over Normandy, France. As they landed among the farmhouses and fields, they quickly realized they were not facing their enemy alone. French Patriots quickly came to their aid, often risking their lives to assist their would-be liberators. Under normal circumstances, the All American Division would be in France

Around this time, 82 years ago, the 82nd Airborne was recuperating from 33 days of combat in Normandy. The paratroopers had earned every inch with blood and grit—but their mission wasn’t over. As they trained, they waited for the next call... Just eight weeks later, they would once again jump into enemy territory—this time into Holland, during Operation Market Garden. | The History of the 82nd Airborne in World War II
