Gentlemen, just catching up to this thread, I'm another "son of 82nd airborne". I know 20k guys jumped with 82nd, but what units were you Dad's in? Mine also did four combat jumps and hit the beach at Anzio with the 376th Artillery.

I miss him everyday, and even more yesterday as we had a graduation party for his grandson.

stay safe
thanks
