U.S. Army Paratroopers assigned the 82nd Airborne Division participated in remembrance ceremonies dedicated to the Division’s participation during World War II’s “Operation Market Garden” at memorial sites in Groesbeek, Netherlands on September 17, 2021. The offensive began September 17, 1944 and called for three Allied airborne divisions to drop by parachute and glider into the Netherlands, seizing key territory and bridges so that ground forces could cross the Rhine. The 82nd ABN DIV was also honored to fulfill the dreams of a special guest from the Make-A-Wish Netherlands Foundation and bring him into the airborne community of support. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
