MISSION Statement
This site is dedicated to the Veterans and Active Duty members of the famous 506th Infantry Regiment and attached units from its creation during World War II to the present. The website is here to provide current and historical information about the regiment and those who served as well as to provide a central point of contact to connect all past and present Currahees.
The mission of the Association is to preserve, honor and convey the camaraderie, commitment, accomplishments and traditions of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (WWII) and its successor units.
We do this by:
- Gathering, maintaining and conveying historical records, personal stories and artifacts about the Regiment and those who were a part of it.
- Assisting 506th Veterans in locating and maintaining contact with other Currahees and with the Regiment;
- Promoting activities that perpetuate camaraderie and esprit de corps among Currahees of all eras; and
- Providing services and benefits to Active Duty and Veteran Currahees and their families during times of need.
We welcome all Currahees who have served in the Regiment from activation in 1942 to the present and into the future.
We believe that each 506th Veteran has the right to participate equally with all other Currahees in Association activities. The Association prohibits any form of discrimination.
