    I would like to introduce to you a veteran from the 551 Parachute Infantry Batalion . Mr Joe Cicchinelli .
    Joe is a grand father by heart for me , He was in my home on 2008 and last years I was in his home at Phoenix AZ . For a lot of people Airborne outfits are just the 82nd and the 101st . But You had also the 11th, 13th, 17th and also two independant Batallions the famous 509PIB and the 551PIB . If you have some question about the 551PIB I'm here .
