    173rd Airborne Brigade

    Col. Joshua Gaspard, commander of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and Angela Balbo, interpreter and translator for U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), honor the legacy of Saint Michael the Archangel during a visit to the Church of Santa Maria dei Servi in Vicenza, Italy, Sept. 29, 2024. The statue of Saint Michael, patron saint of paratroopers and Italian police, stands as a symbol of courage, protection and righteous strength. Saint Michael’s Day is observed annually to recognize his role as a spiritual warrior and protector of those who serve.
