Greetings all,
Signing up to enlist in the 506th, new to re-enacting but have been wanting to do it for a while now, WW2 history buff since I was a kid, love learning new things about the era and life in the 1940's. My name is Nick, 41 and I'm from Folsom, CA, I first found Fox Co. when researching west coast re-enacting units, and being that it is an Airborne unit seemed like a perfect fit, I want to join the unit and get into living history events to help educate the younger generations and keep the memory of WW2 servicemen alive, as we are now approaching the 80th year mark of the war's end, there are fewer and fewer veterans left as time washes away the Greatest Generation, I don't want these men or the events that shaped the modern era to be forgotten, and speaking from a personal standpoint, my grandfather was a WW2 veteran from the Battle of Leyte Gulf and also served on Guam, he was my inspiration in history and I want to honor his memory as well all who served. I am a collector of WW2 militaria, uniforms and weapons, focusing mainly on Airborne, I am a current member of the Airborne Demonstration Team out of Oklahoma, and a graduate of the Parachute School. I will bring my knowledge to the team and do whatever I can to be an asset to the 506th.
thank you for your consideration, Nick
