Airborne Walk

USA / Georgia / Fort Benning South /
The Airborne Walk was dedicated April 17th, 1986, by then Secretary of the Army John S. Marsh, Jr. It serves as a tribute to every person who has been or ever will be Airborne qualified. It also serves as a memorial to paratroopers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country. The Airborne Walk is configured in the shape of the basic airborne wings with 28 monuments dedicated to the airborne units of the past, present, and future. A centerpiece monument stands in the middle of the walk with the names of all the original airborne test platoon members.

Also, if you hacked the Airborne course anytime after 1986, you got your bloodwings here.

  • Sure did. '03. Bastard SGT Airborne told us "We're not allowed to do the blood wings anymore, so don't ask" then asked who was infantry and headed to the eighty deuce. Shook everyone else's hand, even the Jarheads; we got "patted on the chest in congratulation". Cut the blood stained part out of the BDUs before I DXed them some years later, still got it somewhere...
