WELCOME TO THE ATLANTA ALL AIRBORNE CHAPTER
The Atlanta All Airborne Chapter is an affiliate of the 82nd Airborne Division
Association, Inc. Our chapter continues to reach-out to all our Airborne
Comrades across the entire state to become members of our fine organization by
personal contact and informational newsletters. At present, the Atlanta
Chapter is the only active chapter in Georgia. No doubt, there should be
more. Many of us have had the opportunity to serve in several airborne
units and find it difficult to align with any particular unit. The Atlanta
All Airborne Chapter and of course the 82nd Airborne have no bias for we are all
AIRBORNE at heart. It is a special meaning/feeling and a memory that will
never go away. Once Airborne, Always Airborne!
As Secretary-Treasurer of the Atlanta. All Airborne Chapter, I reach out to
former 82nd troopers and other Airborne troopers who are not members of an
airborne chapter. Signing-up and renewing your membership through our
chapter, makes it possible for the chapter to retain a portion of the dues to
support activities of the chapter.
Unfortunately, many that I write would find it difficult to attend monthly
meetings. But that is not a problem with the chapter for many who are
members locally are not able to attend. The main point is support to stay
active, and for those members unable to attend meetings, the chapter will always
keep the entire membership in mind during their deliberations
Our chapter meetings are on the second Wednesday of each month with the Board of
Directors and General Membership at 6:30 PM. Typically we conduct our meetings in a
Conference Room at the Atlanta Airport Marriott, 4711 Best Rd. College Park, GA
at the 1-85 Exit of Upper Riverdale Rd. Occasionally, we
change monthly meeting for special event. Check our Calendar (under
Members Page) to confirm the location.
There are several chapter events each year that maybe a member more distant
could find a way to attend. We announce them a few weeks in advance.
Usually, we have a couple of picnics and a Christmas Party, however, our main
event each year is in the Spring (April) when the chapter hosts the Static Line
Awards Festival. An event that every trooper, young and old, and in
between should attend. It is four days of great fun, memory recalling and
meeting with former airborne comrades.
Above you will find a link to the "Membership" Application site and other
informative materials for your
consideration. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
With best regards, I am
AIRBORNE, ALL THE WAY!!!
