Sgt. Mathew Pous, a U.S. Army paratrooper assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade, stands in front of the 9/11 Memorial, informing paratroopers and families about its history in Padova, Italy, Sept. 8, 2023.

The memorial site consists of a 6 meter long steel beam, retrieved from the ruins of the World Trade Center. It is mounted in an architectonic glass structure which recalls an open book (mimicking the facades of the Twin Towers). The book is open in the direction of the Statue of Liberty in New York.

It serves as a reminder of the tragic events that took place in New York City on September 11th, 2001.

The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States European, African, and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
