Today, the day before D-Day. Thousands of paratroopers watch the sun go down. Many will never again see it rise. They brought the fight to evil itself. They are our forebears. We remember them, today, tomorrow, and always. #DDay #DDay77

We are deeply saddened to hear of Jim “Pee Wee” Martin’s passing.  He is a true legend in the 101st and will live on forever. This division was founded on the sacrifice, valor, audacity and sheer grit of Soldiers like Pee Wee Martin.  Pee Wee will be greatly missed.

Today is D-Day. Many troops were shot to pieces before their boots could even hit the sand. Paratroopers killed before they hit the ground, planes shot down, explosions, anti-aircraft flak. Remember the price they paid. Remember what they bought with it. #DDay77 #DDay

Tomorrow morning, 1944. Belgium. The Germans demanded that the 101st Airborne surrender Bastogne. The reply went down as an iconic part of history, and a reflection of the American spirit itself. We’ll go through it tomorrow. It was decidedly not “yes.”

Vincent J. Speranza was laid to rest in his hometown of Auburn, Illinois on August 10, 2023 in the presence of family and friends. Screaming Eagles old and new will deeply miss the legend they know as Vinny, but his legacy will remain with us forever. Until we Rendezvous again!

Ranger School is the Army's premiere course for small unit tactics and leadership. Students push themselves for 62 grueling days and return to their units stronger, tougher, and better. Help us congratulate these Screaming Eagles, who returned with this honor last night!

This is a high water mark. This is what it meant to be Americans. What it meant to be Allies in this fight. Staring down insurmountable odds, they stood in the face of the enemy. They told them to go to hell. And they won.

This feels like the end of something. Edward Shames, the final living member of the Band of Brother, Easy Company, 506th, has left us. He died peacefully at home at 99. Ed jumped into Normandy, fought in some of WWII's most critical moments, was memorialized on the HBO show.

Old Abe - the bald eagle on our unit patch - was 100% real. Here he is with his unit, the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, arriving in St. Louis in 1861
