17th Airborne Division - US Military Women T-Shirt

Learn about the heroic story of Major General William M. Miley's 17th Airborne Division, also known as "The Golden Talons," a prestigious unit in the US military during WWII. The division was activated in April 1943 and went through extensive training before arriving in Britain in August 1944. It fought valiantly in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge under Major General Matthew B. Ridgway's command, earning several Medals of Honour. Their sole airborne operation, Operation Varsity, established their reputation. The division, which fought in Northern Germany until the end of the war, left an indelible mark.

Our unique design honours their valour and contributions during pivotal battles such as the Battle of the Bulge and Operation Varsity.
