Description: "They Called Us Currahees - The 3-506 Vietnam Legacy (774 Pages) - Autographed Hard Cover with Jacket with Free Shipping This book is the culmination of fifty years of research, interviews, and personal experiences as a member of the famed Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Infantry. Those familiar with the World War II Series, “Band of Brothers” can attest to the notoriety of the paratroopers of “The Greatest Generation”. My generation of paratroopers, as well as non-airborne members, represent the next generation of fighting men who served honorably in the 3rd Battalion, 506th Infantry (Currahees), 101st Airborne Division during the Vietnam War. Our motto (Stand Alone) truly says it all—the 3-506 was the proud “Stand Alone Battalion” during their tour of duty in South Vietnam from 1967-1971 that served as a unique “fire brigade” to respond anywhere and at any time in support of both US and ARVN units (brigades and divisions). In May 1970, the 3-506 spearheaded the 4th Infantry Division’s Incursion into Cambodia (Operation Binh Tay I). Within the 774 pages of this historical factual military odyssey are numerous photographs (331), figures (25), maps (29), and articles (51) depicting the details of war in the jungles and rice paddies of South Vietnam and Cambodia. Each purchaser of my book will receive an autographed hardcover edition with dust jacket and free shipping. Please note. The version offered on other internet website is a softcover version, less pages and no color photos. I hope you will check out my other books. Please contact me if you have questions.
