Causes: Arts & Culture, Historical Organizations
Mission: To construct and maintain the 173d airborne bridgade national memorial with the same magnificence and dignity befitting the brave men and women who are lucky enough to call themselves "sky soldiers".
Programs: Program, engraving, and maintenance related expenses for the memorial including depreciation.
in june 2015, the foundation conducted a ceremony honoring two medal of honor recipients. On the eve of the event, the foundation served dinner honoring the new recipients and families of fallen soldiers. Over 100 were seated at the dinner. On the following day, the ceremony was held honoring the recipients with over 300 in attendance. The two newly engraved names were unveiled and their citations were read.
ceremonies and programs are also held for other attached companies to the 173d brigade. The board reviews and approves these ceremonies, but no expenses are incurred for them by the foundation.
