Description

187th AIRBORNE EMBLEM
THE RAKKASANS!
Handcrafted Wooden Plaque
The
187th Infantry Regiment
(Rakkasans) is a regiment of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
The nickname
"The Rakkasans"
is derived from the Japanese word for umbrella. The name was given to the 187th during its tour in occupied Japan following World War II. When a translator dealing with local Japanese dignitaries was trying to explain what their unit was trained to do he used the phrase "falling down umbrella men", or
Rakkasan
. Bemused by the clumsy word, the locals began to call the troopers by that nickname; it soon stuck and became a point of pride for the Unit.
Our sharp
187th Airborne Emblem
is 100% Handcrafted from All-Natural hardwoods.
The background is
Inlaid
, the Wings are made
Intarsia-style
and the Risers are cut from one piece of wood.
This NEW Larger
187th Airborne Emblem
Wood Art Plaque measures 15" x 10".
