Convention in the media

Our chapter was proud to welcome 42 Wounded Warriors.

Despite the majority of the Division being overseas, the convention was a success.

Excerpt from our chairman's AAR:

The 63rd National Convention of 82nd Airborne Division Association was a huge success thanks to our members who stepped up from beginning to the end.

If you did not attend the convention, you missed a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet and socialize with approximately 1,000 veterans from chapters throughout the US and 82nd, Ft. Bragg Paratroopers.
