One wonders why the folks who wrote the book on Air Assault weren’t awarded the wings as a matter of course. Poetrooper sends, and approves.

Honorary Air Assault Wings for Vietnam Era Vets! 50 years after the Vietnam War ended the U.S. Army has recognized the contributions of combat veterans of the 101st Airborne and 1st Air Cavalry divisions. These were the Soldiers who pioneered the development of air assault tactics that are now an essential component of modern warfare. At the urging of former Screaming Eagle commanders GEN David Petraeus and LTG Robert Clark and current commander MG Brian Winski, the Army is awarding a special honorary Air Assault Badge to qualified veterans of the Vietnam conflict. Veterans may apply for this honor by submitting a completed application to the 101st Airborne Division Office at PO Box 929, Fort Campbell, KY 42223. The announcement of the award and application is available from the 101st Airborne Association website or from our Facebook page. The applications must arrive as the Association headquarters by April 1st. A presentation ceremony is being planned for June 25th, the last day of the Week of the Eagles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Similar to the Ranger Wars, where some say just qualifying by completing the training isn’t enough? Seems an Army thing.
