On June 6, 1944, First Battalion of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment jumped into Normandy as part of Operation Overlord. 2,056 paratroopers from the regiment participated in the D-Day jumps, but only 995 returned. The regiment suffered 1,061 casualties, of which 307 were killed in action.
The 307 Hero Workout is in honor of the brave heroics of not only the paratroopers from the 508, but to all who jumped into the great unknown on that historic day.
