The 173d Airborne Brigade, known as the “Sky Soldiers,” is one of the U.S. Army’s most decorated combat units. From the battlefields of Vietnam to modern conflicts around the world, the 173d has built a legacy of courage, sacrifice, and combat excellence. Today, the 173d Airborne Brigade Association preserves that legacy by connecting veterans, honoring fallen Sky Soldiers, supporting families of the fallen, and ensuring the stories of those who served are never forgotten.
This partnership holds special significance for Spirits of Valor as the 173d Airborne Brigade 

Association is the beneficiary of our very first product release. Its mission is deeply personal to our company—Spirits of Valor President Jakob Bradfield served with the 173d in Afghanistan, where he witnessed firsthand the courage, camaraderie, and selfless service that define the Sky Soldier community. Through this partnership, we proudly help preserve the Brigade’s legacy, honor those who never came home, and support the veterans and families who carry that legacy forward.
