On May 16th, ahead of Memorial Day, members of the Phantom Airborne Brigade will gather for a solemn static line parachute jump, paying tribute to the courage and sacrifice of America’s airborne heroes. This event is not only a demonstration of airborne skill—it is a living memorial, a moment when paratroopers leap from the aircraft in remembrance of those who gave their lives in service to our country.
Each jumper carries the memory of the fallen, sometimes wearing name tapes or insignia to honor those who are no longer with us. As parachutes blossom in the sky, families and fellow service members watch from below, reflecting on the bonds and traditions that unite generations of airborne warriors. The jump is performed with precision and respect, echoing the historic airborne operations that shaped our nation’s history.
After landing, participants and families gather to share stories, honor the memory of those lost, and reaffirm the bonds of the airborne community. This ceremony serves as a powerful reminder that “Paratroopers never die, they simply slip away,” and that their legacy endures in every jump, every gathering, and every act of remembrance.
By supporting and participating in this May tribute jump, we ensure that the spirit, sacrifice, and excellence of our airborne heroes are never forgotten, and that their memory continues to inspire future generations. Your generosity will make a tangible difference. Please consider making a donation to help us honor our heroes, support our families, and preserve our airborne tradition for generations to come.
