The Screaming Eagles have landed. Today marks the anniversary of the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division`s arrival in South Vietnam at Cam Ranh Bay in 1965.
This pivotal moment began the division`s official involvement in the Vietnam War, a conflict that would test their mettle and solidify their place in history. We honor the path they walked.

While we celebrate the 4th of July 🇺🇸, progress continues! This week saw major steps forward with site work in the parking lot and crucial mechanical and electrical work inside the main exhibit hall.
Wishing everyone a safe and patriotic holiday from the entire project team!
On July 4th, 1776, a promise was made—a promise of freedom, liberty, and self-determination. For 249 years, that promise has been secured by patriots willing to defend it.
Today, we honor the soldiers of the 101st Airborne, 5th Special Forces Group, and 160th SOAR. Whether at home with family or standing the watch in a distant land, you are the living embodiment of that promise. Your service is the reason we all celebrate.
Happy Independence Day.

Remembering the intense 23-day defense of Fire Support Base Ripcord. As the final major battle for American troops in the Vietnam War, it represents a profound legacy of courage forged by the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the sneak peek and topping-out ceremony last Friday! It was great to hear all the excitement surrounding the project, and our team is more motivated than ever to bring this museum to life.
This week, we channeled that energy right back into the build. We`re thrilled to share that the front entrance glass doors have been installed, bathroom partitions are going up, and the main exhibit hall is now officially lit!
We look forward to seeing everyone again on opening day!
A monumental milestone! Last Friday, we were filled with immense pride and gratitude at the Topping Out Ceremony for the Tennessee Wings of Liberty Museum.
This long-held tradition celebrates the placement of the final structural beam, honoring the hard work of the construction crews who have brought this vision to life. It was incredible to gather with so many service members, community leaders, and dedicated supporters to mark this significant step forward.
Seeing the museum`s framework complete fills us with excitement for the future and the powerful stories of Fort Campbell`s heroes that will soon fill these halls. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this historic day!
