U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to 173rd Airborne Brigade pay their respects at the C-47 Memorial Garden in Picauville, France, June 4, 2025. The memorial honors 20 American soldiers—16 of them paratroopers from Charlie Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division—who were killed when their C-47 aircraft was shot down on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The site, shaped like a Douglas C-47 Skytrain and lined with tulip trees representing each fallen soldier, serves as a solemn reminder of the cost of freedom.

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 stationed in Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build readiness and strengthen the alliance.
