A statue of Brig. Gen. James M. Gavin, known as the “Jumpin Jin,” is displayed during the memorial ceremony at Sainte Mere Eglise, France, on June 5, 2026. This memorial is in recognition of Brig. Gen. James M. Gavin, the youngest general to command an American division in World War ll. The statue marks the location where Gavin landed during the airborne assault on Normandy. Eighty-two years after the Paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division jumped into Normandy on D-Day and helped change the course of history, their legacy keep living on through every All American who proudly wears the AA patch and carries forward the same spirit of courage, sacrifice, and commitment.
