WASHINGTON — The House has approved a resolution honoring the 101st Airborne Division based at Fort Campbell, Ky.
The vote Monday was 378-0. The measure was co-sponsored by all nine members of Tennessee’s House delegation.
The 101st, also known as the Screaming Eagles, has soldiers now deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of them have been deployed several times.
The Screaming Eagles were originally activated during World War I, and have served in World War II, Vietnam and Desert Storm. They were the first Americans to land in France during the D-Day invasion.
