“Wherever the 11th Airborne Division may be assigned, and whatever may be its duty, our country may rest secure in the firm belief that this mighty division of ‘Angels’ will give a good account of itself, wholly in keeping with the finest traditions of the United States armed forces and the spirit of the people of the free world.”

- Major General Joseph “Jumping Joe” May Swing, commander, 11th Airborne Division, 1943-1948
