101st Airborne turns 70 today


Today is the 70th anniversary of the United State Army's 101st Airborne Division. 

The Screaming Eagles of the 101st have been on the front lines, taking on some of our nation's toughest battlefield missions ever since the Second World War with an exemplary record of service, including D-Day, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge, Vietnam and the Middle East.

We appreciate their steadfast service to country and to the cause of freedom.

A tour guide narrates a visit to the battlefields around Bastonge, telling the story of General McAuliffe's famous rejection of German demands to surrender the 101st during the Battle of the Bulge - "Nuts!".
