On behalf of the Chapter I would like to welcome you and congratulate you on your decision to be a part of this great organization. Our Chapter encompasses Union, Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The Chapter was formed in 1981 as the Jersey Pineland Devils Chapter and Chartered the Central Jersey Chapter on 14 August 1982. We have a Color Guard that participates in parades and ceremonies throughout the year to include St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day, D-Day, Basilone Day and Veterans Day.
Our membership spans the generations from WWII to present day Paratroopers and our members include Troopers from just about every unit in the Airborne community to include the 101st, 173rd (ABN), 187th (RCT), Special Forces, and others hence the term All-Airborne. Member benefits include quarterly subscription to the Paraglide, 82nd Airborne Assocition embossed credit card through Bank of America (for qualified applicants), Bass Hotels and Resorts discount card, All American Week, National Convention, and Regional conferences open invitations, Scholarships to recently released veterans and children of veteran and active duty members ($120,000 awarded in 2009), and congregating with your fellow Paratroopers. We provide meals at no cost for deploying/returning Troops at our annual Fort Dix picnic and fed over 250 in 2009 departing for Iraq that evening.
The State of New Jersey has Airborne license plates for our life members should you be interested in obtaining a new set of tags for your vehicle.
We meet quarterly with dates and location posted on the website calendar. It is our sincere hope that you can attend and we hope to see you there.
