description

Summary

Sgt. Darrin White, a Paratrooper assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade and a veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division, leads the sunset march on a bridge over the Waal River near Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Sept. 17. White participated in the tradition of the sunset march to honor the 48 men who died in combat during the Waal River crossing in 1944. One at a time, the 48 streetlights on the bridge illuminate, representing paratroopers of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 307th Engineer Battalion that were killed in combat while crossing the river during Operation Market Garden. White is one of nearly 1,000 paratroopers from seven NATO countries that attended the 71st Anniversary of Operation Market Garden. (82nd Airborne Division photo by Staff Sgt. Jason Hull)

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
