Official 82nd Airborne Division Patch — 82nd Airborne Division All American Embroidered Patch
All American — the 82nd Airborne Division.
The 82nd Airborne Division, the “All Americans,” is one of the most famous and decorated divisions in the United States Army. Based at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), North Carolina, the 82nd Airborne is the Army’s primary strategic response force — capable of deploying anywhere in the world within 18 hours of notification. The division earned its “All American” nickname during World War I when its ranks included soldiers drafted from every state in the union, making it a truly national formation.
The 82nd Airborne’s combat record is among the most distinguished in American military history. The division conducted combat jumps into Sicily, Normandy (D-Day), and the Netherlands (Market Garden) during World War II, establishing the airborne legacy that defines the unit to this day. In subsequent decades, the All Americans have deployed to the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan — always among the first forces to arrive in theater. The distinctive “AA” shoulder patch is one of the most recognized insignia in the U.S. military, symbolizing the elite airborne warrior tradition that has defined the 82nd for over a century.
Perfect For: 82nd Airborne Division veterans and active-duty paratroopers, All American alumni, airborne community supporters, Army division patch collectors, World War II history enthusiasts, and anyone who respects the 82nd’s tradition of being first to fight.
All American, always ready — the 82nd leads the way.
