“2012 Week of the Eagles” will celebrate the 101st Airborne Division's 70th Anniversary.The theme for the week is “A history of valor.” It was through the actions of disciplined, well-trained, and physically fit Screaming Eagles who sacrificed everything for freedom, for peace, and for each other, that we have earned a legacy of which we can all be justifiably proud.
