Hi all. My name is Andrew Saldana and I am interested in joining the 101st Airborne reenactors. I do not have any reenacting experience just yet but I am a US Air Force Security Forces veteran. As a child, my mother was a nurse and friend of a WWII veteran and I used to enjoy listening to his stories. I have always been a fan of the Airborne especially from the documentaries and films I have seen on them. I look forward to getting to know you all and begin my journey.

Welcome to the forums, Andrew. Since you've posted an introduction, I've gone ahead and upgraded your status to replacement. This should allow you to see more of the forums.
If you don't mind, where are you located? The bulk of our members are in Southern California, but many are spread up north and even in other states.
It's rather quiet on the reenacting front during summer, but things start to pick up again during the fall. In the meantime, feel free to start looking around here at some additional information. One of us will be in touch with you shortly via private message.
See you on the DZ.

Thank you sir! I live in Downey. I am willing to travel if there isn’t a whole lot around here. I have never been to a reenactment so I would love to come observe and help in any way I can.

Sounds good, Andrew. And it's Sergeant, BTW. Not "sir." I work for a living. Most of our members are in the greater LA area, so you're right where you need to be. Actually, my great uncle lived in Downey and was a nose gunner on a B-24.

I’m sure he had many stories to tell.

Welcome to the forum Andrew. Pee Wee has already updated your status. As he mentioned, we are on a reenacting hiatus during the summer months. Keep checking in on the forum. Read up as much as you can. Things will pick back up again in the fall. Take care. Al G-
