Running of the Herd!

173rd Airborne Brigade

June 25, 2019 | 1:04

The 173rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) kicked off Bayonet Week with the "Running of the Herd" event at Caserma Del Din. This event began back in 2006 to memorialize November 8th and the 48 Soldiers that lost their lives in Vietnam, but now it is meant to memorialize all Sky Soldiers that have fallen in combat from Vietnam through today. Bayonet Week 2019 is an opportunity for the Sky Soldiers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade to test themselves and each other in sports and combat related skills. In partnership with the Healthy Army Communities program, the 173rd Airborne Brigade brought Paratroopers, family members and the Vicenza community together to build esprit de corps and celebrate their shared unit history. The event runs from June 24 -27 at Caserma Del Din, Vicenza, Italy.
