The 82nd Airborne Division is an airborne infantry division of the United States Army based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. It is a subordinate unit of the XVIII Airborne Corps. The 82nd Division was constituted in the National Army on 5 March 1917, and was organized on 25 March 1917, at Camp Gordon, Georgia. Since members of the division came from all 48 states, the unit was given the nickname “All- American.” This is the basis for its famed “AA” shoulder patch. Famous soldiers of the division include Sergeant Alvin C. York, General James M. Gavin, former Chief Dave Bald Eagle (grandson of Sitting Bull), Senator Strom Thurmond (325GIR in World War II), and Congressman Patrick Murphy (the first Iraq War veteran elected to Congress).
