Currahee Battle Flag

 Currahee KIA Memorial 


Over 1,400 Currahees have made the supreme sacrifice for our country. You
may have known some of them. But what you may not know is that there is no
single memorial to all the soldiers of our Regiment who have been killed in action.
This situation is about to change. Work has already started on a memorial, but
your help is needed. At present, there is a need to raise $38,000. This is the
unfunded dollar amount required to complete this memorial. This tribute to our
fallen is being paid for by people like you. The Army has provided the land,
however, soldiers, and veterans, along with Currahee friends and family, will have
to come together if we are to complete this project. Now is the time to step up
and take action. Click the links below to see what the memorial will look like
and how you can make this dream a reality.

Fund Raising for the 2008 Afghanistan Deployment
(completed December 31, 2008)

After careful consideration, the 506th Association Board of Directors decided
against asking our members to support a third Package Project for the deployment
of the Regiment to Afghanistan in 2008.

The reasoning behind this decision is the general falling off of support during the
2006 deployment, along with the increased requirements of supporting the entire
4th Brigade Combat Team, 506th Infantry as opposed to just the two 506th
Infantry Battalions.

The balance in the Currahee Packages Fund was spent on the creation, production,
and shipping to Afghanistan of the new Currahee Battle Flag, which was designed
by the active-duty troops of the 506th Infantry Regiment.
