History

Chapter 30 of the 173d Airborne Brigade Association began in July 2004 at the annual Brigade Reunion in Florida. Eddie Hair stood up and asked then association president Paul Dinardo if a South Carolina chapter could be formed. Within 5-10 minutes at least 10 Sky Soldiers from South Carolina and Georgia approached Eddie, giving us the necessary members to start our chapter.

Founding members:

Chapter 30 has since grown to more than 100 members, including associate members and several Gold Star Family members. See MEMBERS tab for current members.
