[edit] Campaigns

Anyone know which three campaigns the 173d fought in during WW2? Blair P. Houghton 20:56, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I removed this page back to 173rd, as the website for the Brigade says right on the top 173rd. 61,000 hits for 173rd on google, opposed to 9,000 for 173d. 173d is an infield abbreviated designation and as such the page isn't named "173d Abn Bde". —ExplorerCDT 23:39, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It's wrong, and Googling isn't probative, but I'll let the military fight with you about it. Blair P. Houghton 21:03, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

BTW, to answer your initial question...The 173rd was made the 87th Recon Group in 1942, but it didn't get into combat until 1944 in Europe. The Three campaigns were Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. —ExplorerCDT 21:09, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I added the proper Lineage and Honors Information for the 173rd and its various permutations from the CMH.SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 14:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fallen Angels

Should them being mentioned in Fallen Angels be added to the pop culture section? In the soft cover published by Scholastic they are mentioned on pages 174 and 175. 208.34.129.190 04:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
