The purpose said by: Pappy Patchin: "I
believe it is our duty to insure the record we made in Vietnam as Sky Soldiers continues in our current Society. We have
sons and even daughters that are Sky Soldiers and they are in combat too. Young like we were. You can bet they're Hot,
Tired, and P O'ed. Just as each of us were in Nam. We indentify with our veterans in Iraq. The Dangers they face
now are still with many of us from years ago. We can welcome them as true brothers in arms. They need to have a Society
to count on after they return to The United States as veterans or Italy to be reassigned. We MUST persevere in our efforts
to maintain a strong Society "We are no longer a last man outfit"
God
Bless The 173rd Airborne Brigade........
