Video uploaded for archival purposes. The 82nd Airborne Division Commander Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue and Command Sgt. Maj. David R. Pitt lay a wreath on the 82nd Airborne Division memorial located at the 82nd Airborne Division Museum, honoring the 24 Paratroopers who lost their lives 27 years ago during the disaster at Green Ramp, Pope Airforce Base, on 23 March 1994. This remains the largest peace-time military accident since WWII. We will never forget our fallen. Speaking as voice-over is archival footage of then-Lt. Col. Stanley McCrystal, one of two Battalion Commanders who had soldiers affected by the incident, speaking at a memorial shortly after the event in 1994.
