Quote of the Month

"During my time in the Army, I met some of the greatest men our country produced.   When I arrived in Vietnam, I wanted to be assigned to an infantry unit to be apart of the action.  The men in the 506th were all young innocent men, but to the man they were true professionals and I am proud to have been apart of such an honored group.   The 506th was truly a Lone Battalion of the 101st.  Truly the 3rd Battalion, 506th troopers followed in the footsteps of their WW II brethren, and were a "Brand of Brothers".

Captain. Thomas Wise, Battalion. Signal Officer 1970
