National Airborne Day The first official Army parachute jump was on August 16, 1940. This validated the insertion of U.S. ground forces behind enemy lines. In 2001, President George W. Bush designated August 16 as National Airborne Day. All Americans, may you always have fair winds and soft landings! #NationalAirborneDay #AATW #ThrowbackThursday | 82nd Airborne Division
