COMBAT VETERAN

WORLD WAR II, KOREA & VIETNAM

Our Membership includes a true, LIVING LEGEND in U. S. Military history.  LTC (Ret.) Robert E. Chisolm is a combat veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam.  He is one, of the original 325 combat veterans (in the history of the U. S. military), authorized to wear the Triple Combat Infantry Badge (C.I.B.), for combat service in three separate wars. In 2013 Chisolm was honored as the "2013 All American Paratrooper of the Year" by the 82nd Airborne Division Association. And, in June 2019, LTC (Ret.) Robert E. Chisolm was inducted into the 82nd Airborne Divison's "All American Hall of Fame".

He is credited with a combat parachute jump on D-Day, into Normandy, France, as part of Operation: "Overlord." He made a second combat parachute jump into Holland during Operation: "Market Garden," and also saw combat in the Ardennes Forrest (southern Belgium), duting the "Battle of the Bulge."

After WW II, Robert E. Chisolm also saw combat in Korea and Vietnam.

For his exceptional military service, the Parks & Recreation Department of the City of El Paso, Texas, honored Bob with the dedication of a park, appropriately renamed:

LTC ROBERT "BOB" CHISOLM PARK.

The park is located on Harrison Avenue, only blocks away from the chapter facility,  in front of Clendennin Elementary School.
