​​Dear Esteemed Chapters and Fellow Members of the 555th Parachute Infantry Association, Southeastern Region.

I am writing to express my profound gratitude and admiration for the unwavering dedication and exceptional contributions of all our chapters. Your strong commitment to community service and support truly exemplifies the spirit of our association and proudly represents the Southeastern Region 555th Parachute Infantry Association. The impact you have made in your local communities is invaluable and deeply appreciated.

​

A special commendation goes to your remarkable scholarship programs. These initiatives are vital in supporting local schools and providing students with that crucial first start in life, embodying our commitment to future generations. Your efforts in this area are truly commendable and make a tangible difference in countless lives.

​

I also wanted to highlight the incredibly positive feedback received regarding the visit of our Southeastern Region members to Pendleton, Oregon, for Operation Firefly. This engagement further strengthened our bonds and showcased the collaborative spirit that defines our association.

​

For all fellow Paratroopers, Veterans, and Civilians who share our values and wish to contribute to a legacy of service and camaraderie, we warmly encourage you to consider joining the Triple Nickels as a member or even starting a chapter in your local area. Your participation enriches our association and expands our reach. See the Membership tab on this website for more information.

​

Finally, I eagerly look forward to welcoming our Troopers and Guests to Jacksonville, Florida, for the Annual Assembly from October 9-12, 2025. It promises to be an inspiring gathering, fostering connections and planning for our continued collective impact. See the 2025 Assembly tab on this website for more information.
