National Airborne Day

James Joyner · Thursday, August 16, 2007 · 3 Comments

Blackfive’s Matt Burden reminds me that today is National Airborne Day.

So far as I’m aware, no one gets the day off for this and no presents are exchanged. Feel free to hug your favorite paratrooper, though, or buy him a beer. The latter is by far the preferred option.

It’s National Airborne Day!…

And I had to read Outside the Beltway to find out about it.

I feel much shame….
