Staff Sgt. Alphaeus Baker leads the 82nd Airborne Division's "All-American" Chorus in a musical rendition of actions in the aircraft during an airborne operation. Baker and the "All-American" Chorus helped celebrate National Airborne Day at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum, Aug. 24. National Airborne Day celebrates the first U.S. Army parachute jump Aug. 16, 1940. This is the 11th observance of the day President George W. Bush proclaimed Aug. 16, 2002, the day to nationally recognize that first jump. It was also an opportunity for family members to gain an understanding of what their paratroopers do and where their traditions began.
