    During the ceremony, twenty-one “Screaming Eagle” Soldiers conducted a reenlistment ceremony, led by General Mark A. Milley, former Deputy Commanding General for the 101st Abn. Div., and the current U.S. Army Chief of Staff. The ceremony is arranged in the same manner as a June 20, 1944 ceremony in which then Div. Commander Maj. Gen.
