U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade render a salute during a Memorial Day ceremony on Caserma Del Din, Italy, May 25, 2020.
Four wreaths were laid in remembrance of four conflicts in which paratroopers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade fought and died: The Great War, World War II, Vietnam, and the Global War on Terrorism. The ceremony was held under strict COVID mitigation procedures, including masks, physical distance and limited attendance.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States Europe, Africa and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance.
