    Bonded for Life

    Veterans of B Company, 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, pose for a group picture during a unit reunion, organized with the help of the Independence Fund, in Nashville, Tennessee, September 26-29.

    The purpose of the weekend was to reunite the Soldiers of B Company, 2/504, rebuild lost relationships and build new ones in order to establish the relationship veterans need for life support when they need someone to talk too who will understand their language and can relate to the experiences they’ve had while serving in the military.

    “We’re here because we absolutely need each other. More than each one of you know, I’ve needed this,” said Col. Brandon Teague, commander of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Ky. and former commander of B Company, 2/504. “We’ve lost some brothers needlessly, and we can’t have that happen anymore. We are brothers, and we can talk to one another.”

    The four-day reunion brought B Company together again after a 15-year hiatus from the everyday jokes, pranks and life with their Army brothers. This connection could possibly be the only thing that might save a life and prevent a veteran suicide. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sergeant Michael Eaddy)
