A legend is gone. Clarence Beavers, last member of the Triple Nickels, the all-black Paratrooper unit integrated into the 82nd in 1947, died at 96. Smoke jumpers during WWII, then first black members of 82nd Airborne, Triple Nickels had a role in the American civil rights.

You won’t have to look back too far to see how then, Col. Lloyd Austin, was able to become one of the highest ranking positions within the U.S. military and break barriers by becoming the first African American to serve as The U.S. Secretary of Defense. #AATW #ThrowbackThursday

Our Devil Brigade's mission in Afghanistan is complete. The Paratroopers are either home or headed that way. Let us this evening take time to honor the 2 Paratroopers who never returned from that mission: Jonathon Hunter & Chris Harris. We will always cherish them. #NeverForget
