325 Airborne Infantry Regiment Association

Help us Build the Falcon Legacy Park at Fort Bragg

The 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment Association is actively raising funds for the design and construction of a permanent park to honor those who gave their lives in service to our nation. Since its activation in 1917, the 2nd Brigade Combat Team (2BCT) and the 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment have lost 920 Falcon Soldiers, Glidermen, and Paratroopers in combat. Despite this extraordinary sacrifice, there is nothing on Fort Bragg dedicated to honor them. The unveiling is planned for All American Week 2026, during the Regimental Picnic.

The returns from your brick purchase will be used to fundraise for the park. Additionally, your brick will be placed in the ground of the park pictured below.  Of note, this depiction of the park is not a final concept, and the design may change as we continue refining the design.  Rest assured, your brick will be incorporated into the park.

Park Design and Features

The proposed design centers around an obelisk topped with a metal Falcon, flanked by two marble panels representing the Regiment’s service in past conflicts and operations. The obelisk will include the Regiment’s activation dates and insignia, and will bear the following inscription:

“In Honor and Memory of Falcon Soldiers, Glidermen, and Paratroopers who have given their lives for the cause of freedom.”

Additionally, we plan to make the following improvements to Glider Field — the site for Change of Command and Responsibility ceremonies:

• Releveling and repaving the sidewalk
• Landscaping with trees and flowers
• Repairs to the surrounding fence

A large-format print of PFC Vernon Haught at the Battle of the Bulge, along with his legendary quote, "I'm the 82nd Airborne, and this is as far as the bastards are going," will also be displayed on the side of Brigade Headquarters.

Please purchase a brick ($200) which will be permanently placed into the Falcon Legacy Park.  Additionally, you can purchase a replica coaster ($20).  Your contribution will help us honor generations of brave paratroopers.
