The “Herd” is a nickname used by pride by veterans and members of the 173d Airborne Brigade. The Sky Soldier Foundation connects the rich heritage and legacy of courage and valor of the 173d Airborne Brigade across many generations of Sky Soldiers as depicted by the 2012 painting of the first commander, Brigadier General Ellis W. Wiliamson and Col. Andrew Rohling, commander of the 173d Airborne Brigade Combat Team by Willard Reader of Portsmouth, Ohio.
The Sky Soldiers Foundation fulfills a significant part of its mission through its core signature programs: the 173d Airborne Wounded Warrior Project, the Bereavement and Gold Star Program, and scholarship grants. The Foundation’s success is rooted in the dedication and commitment of the presidents, officers, and members of more than 25 active 173d Airborne Brigade Association Chapters across the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. It is further strengthened by the close cooperation between the Foundation, the Association, and the central command of the 173d Airborne Brigade Combat Team in Vicenza, Italy.
