281st AHC Monument Project ...

The 2016 Reunion at Fayetteville, NC, had the additional purpose of dedicating our memorial stone recently placed in the Ft Bragg Memory Garden. Read about the event and see more than one hundred photos in Reunion After Action Report.

At the 2008 Annual Reunion the general membership approved the funding for a monument at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum located at Fayetteville, NC.  The monument was completed and dedicated on 17 October 2009.
