A resolution designating August 16, 2026, as "National Airborne Day".
This resolution designates August 16, 2026, as National Airborne Day to honor the history and contributions of U.S. airborne military forces. The bill calls on the American people to observe the day with programs and ceremonies celebrating the bravery and achievements of paratroopers and air assault units. It highlights the legacy of these forces, which began with the first official Army parachute jump on that date in 1940 and have since served in numerous conflicts worldwide. The measure serves as a commemorative recognition rather than a change to federal law or military operations.
