OUR BATTALION NEWSLETTER

     The "Stand Alone Battalion" newsletter is intended to keep our members informed on 3-506th happenings, provide information, and to open windows into our military service with the battalion--Remembering a time and place as Currahees!  Members will have an opportunity to see photos and read articles about their battalion, some never seen before or seen again since their tour of duty in Vietnam.  For those Currahees that lost all their personal belongings or never had the means to collect and save these things during their tour, this newsletter will fill the void left by that time in their lives. 

     Our first edition of  'The Stand Alone Battalion' newsletter (October issue) provided readers with the format they can expect in subsequent editions--six sections: Section I - Editorial & Ramblings about our battalion and our 506th legacy. Section II - Predeployment--Stories and information related to the days and months leading up to the deployment of the battalion to Vietnam.   Section III - Vietnam Diary-- Stories and information related to battalion combat operations in the Vietnam War.   Section IV - Post Vietnam--Stories and information related to Currahees after returning from Vietnam.  Section V - Real Time--Stories and information related to news of today.  Section VI - Publication & Assistance Information.

     This newsletter will be published monthly and a subscription fee charged.  Members are reminded to submit their recollections, photos, and articles for inclusion in the newsletter.
