by Fort Bragg Public Affairs Office

FORT BRAGG, N.C. – The 82nd Airborne Division has released several news stories and high resolution images from All American Week 2013, which took place May 20 – 23.

It was the first time since 2011 all of the division’s brigades were at Fort Bragg for the week of celebration and remembrance. Paratroopers participated in a number of sporting events, such as baseball, football, and a combatives tournament (similar to mixed-martial arts).

The Division Review showcased the professionalism and rich history of “America’s Guard of Honor,” as more than 14,000 Paratroopers representing every unit in the Division as well as “All American” veterans marched in the ceremony.

The emotional highlight of the week came during the Memorial Ceremony at the 82nd Airborne Division museum, on Thursday. Past and present Paratroopers honored fallen Paratroopers and their families during the ceremony. 

Below are links to the stories and images.
