Military
The 82nd Airborne Division was identified with American paratroopers, called "Devils in Baggy Pants," who seemed to appear from nowhere and strike unpredictably, seeming to be everywhere. The division is dedicated to the memory of all paratroopers and glidermen, whose courage and valor in battle set the standard for all American fighting men. "Airborne all the way!"
