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 its mission by providing core signature programs: the 173d Airborne Wounded Warrior Project, Bereavement and Gold Star Program, and Scholarship grants. The success of the foundation 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 and the close cooperation between the foundation and the central command of the 173d Airborne Brigade Combat Team in Vicenza, Italy, shown below at the 173d Airborne Annual Formal Ball at Edelweiss located in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany on April 21, 2012.
