A U.S. Army World War II veteran stands in honor during the playing of the National Anthem at the "Cabbage Patch" ceremony in Carentan, France, June 4, 2025. The annual World War II commemoration honors the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division who fought German forces in the cabbage fields surrounding the town during the Battle of Normandy. Following the ceremony, soldiers participated in a parade to the Signal Monument, one of ten identical memorials erected at key Allied landing sites across Normandy.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army’s Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States European, African, 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.
