506th Airborne Infantry

Regiment Association

Morale fund

After careful consideration, the 506th Association has decided to reinstate the Currahee Packages Project and to rename it so that it more accurately reflects what this fund will attempt to provide in the way of support for the active duty soldiers of the 506th Infantry Regiment.

This Fund will be used to provide morale boosting items such as Currahee Battle Flags, 506th Associationitems, and other products that will be purchased and sent to our troops.

The scope of this project will be based upon the level of support received. Questions may be directed to me at AlfredMay@aol.com.
