The 82nd Airborne Division will hold All American Week from May 16-20 at Fort Bragg.
What is All American Week you ask? The easiest way I can sum it up for you, ‘All American week: A celebration of everything eighty duce!'
All American Week is returning this year to Fort Bragg. Last year, due to majority of the units being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan troops and family members didn't get to partake and watch this infamous event.
The week usually begins with a division run on Monday. Thousands of soldiers will be dressed in the same PT uniform and run up and down Long Street as far as the eye can see. Throughout the week there will be sporting events that the soldiers put on and family members can come and watch.
Other events during the week included a solemn memorial ceremony for fallen troopers at the 82nd history museum, a variety of sports competitions, activities for families, and several brigade regimental events
The week ends with the division review. The soldiers stand and honor those past and present in the 82nd Airborne Division. Guest speakers in the past have included George W. Bush on Thursday.
