Name: Gavin Morrison Age: 16 Location: Napa, CA
2) I found Fox Company, 506th through the CHG (California Historical Group) webpage
3) I do not have any reenactment experience although I have seen a civil war reenactment before.
4) I would like to join this unit because it seems to be more well organized and established than the other Allied units I’ve looked at. This unit also seems to be one of the few remaining units of the CHG and RPS that are still active and host events.
5) I’m not an expert on the subject but I do know enough to where I can identify certain vehicles, weapons, important battles, dates, uniforms, people, etc. I’m somewhat familiar with the role American paratroopers played during World War II which was to drop behind enemy lines and then proceed to cut off enemy supply lines, capture key towns/cities, and be an overall burden to the enemy.
6) I have not had the chance to meet any World War II veterans yet but I do know of some relatives that fought in the conflict. One of them, my great uncle, fought in the 1st Infantry Division “The Big Red One” during the later parts of the war. Although he’s now passed, my grandpa has given me copies of the letters he sent to him and his parents. The letters tell of when he was first shipped into Britain, his track across Europe and the crossing of the Rhine into Germany.
7) I think I’ll be an asset to this unit because I’m aware of my surroundings and listen to what others have to say. I am somewhat of a quiet person at first but once you get to know me I’ll start to open up more.
8) N/A
