Down From Heaven - The 11th Airborne Division in World War II & Beyond
Join historian and author Jeremy C. Holm as we discover the men and history of the legendary 11th Airborne Division in World War II, Korea and beyond!
In this podcast, we'll cover a wide range of topics including the division's stateside training, their campaigns to liberate Leyte and Luzon from Imperial Japan, their historic statues as the first Allied unit to land in Japan for Occupation Duty and more.
No wonder US Eighth Army's General Robert L. Eichelberger said of the Angels, "No one could have asked for finer fighting men.”
Jeremy is the son of 1LT Andrew Carrico who fought with the 11th Airborne in WWII. Utilizing interviews with the last living members of the World War II-era Angels, Jeremy has published three highly acclaimed books on the Angels and frequently travels to lecture on the 11th Airborne.

The Legacy of the 11th Airborne Division - 2023 11th Airborne Association Speech
This speech was given by 11th Airborne Division historian and author Jeremy C. Holm on September 14, 2023 at the 2023 11th Airborne Division Association Reunion held at Sam's Town Gambling Hall and Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jeremy was honored to address the 11th Airborne Division Angels from WWII to today in attendance, as well as their wives, families and airborne supporters.
In this speech, Jeremy touches on the legacy of the 11th Airborne Division from 1943 through today and explains for every Angel, and the world, just how impactful their military service, and legacy, has been to the United States of America.
Jeremy said later, "It was a powerful experience for me to address this company of heroes. I was a bit embarrassed by the standing ovation they gave when I was finished, but I will treasure the memory of knowing that I touched their hearts and honored their buddies who have 'made the final jump', whether that was in combat or after a long life."
