As if the fanfare over the hit series "Band of Brothers" wasn't enough, the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division now have something new to squawk about.
The U.S. Army's only air-assault division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky recently defeated the All Americans of the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, North Carolina in the final round of the Unit Madness 2020 Challenge, according to a recent news release from the 101st. The Screaming Eagles received 93 more votes than the 82nd in the sports bracket-style social media competition designed to identify the Army unit with the most unit pride.
The online competition -- which was started by the 25th Infantry Division -- generated nearly 1.5 million total votes for 16 different Army units during the 20-day event, according to the release.
