As the HQ of one of the most famous military units in history, you’d expect the 101st building to have some historical displays… and you’d be spot on. The structure itself is unique and sets itself apart from anything else on base. Big and blue! The first thing you might notice is the walls adorned with historical artifacts, signs and sculptures… that is if you miss the 10′ obelisk outside. As you walk further in, there’s an impressive Medal of Honor Rotunda with life sized jumper suspended my parachute lines in the center. Pretty Cool. Walk around. You’ll see a display dedicated to Old Abe, the Eagle on the 101st insignia. My favorite was the small statue of the Paratrooper with the air-filled chute after landing. Brought back memories of trying to unclip while the parachute was nearly dragging me along the ground. Check out the pictures. Hope you enjoy.
