Basic Airborne Course Honor Graduate 1/507 PIR


Recommended Posts

found this at a local thrift shop today. Not exactly cheap but I did not want to leave it.

 

Not named or dated but the 1/507 was re activated in 1985 as a training regiment and the knife is dated 91. With that info you can get an idea of the age and time frame of the award.

 

according to an article William "red" King was the first enlisted paratrooper.
