Today on National Airborne Day, we honor our nation’s airborne forces. Often called into action with little notice, these forces have earned an enduring reputation for dedication, excellence, and honor. From our 2021 Concert, Joe Morton pays tribute to Cleveland Valrey and the 2nd Rangers, an elite airborne unit that fought in the Korean War, and the Army’s only African American Ranger Infantry Company during that time. #MemDayPBS #MemorialDay #PBS #NationalAirborneDay | National Memorial Day Co

The creed of the airborne soldier is "In peace and war I will never fail, Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere…" In 2021, we shared the story of the 2nd Rangers, an elite airborne group that fearlessly fought behind enemy lines in the Korean War. Thank you to all our airborne troops for your unfailing bravery and sacrifice. #NationalAirborneDay | National Memorial Day Concert (PBS)
