For those who don’t know me, my name is Robert Beville, Age 54, suburbs of Los Angeles, Ca.
I am an 82nd Airborne Baker company, 505th re-enactor, looking to fall in with the 506th.
I have re-enacted WW2 from leg infantry, Jeep jockey, paratrooper, from 2003 until today.
What drew me to your unit is the brotherhood, first and foremost. When I was in a battle and had Fox company on our flank, we fought the Germans to the last man, never pulling back, fixing and flanking, shooting and moving. I will never forget the example that the 506th set, always marching back to our barracks then falling out after formation. Our unit always tried to follow suit.
I have a bachelor’s degree from Loyola University, History Honor Society, emphasis on Germany, 1914-1933. I learned a lot from my Dad, 1st Lt, 9th Air Force, 396th Liberandos, 108th Squadron “ Wongo-Wongo” POW, Stalag Luft III, Sagan, Germany. I am familiar with the American paratrooper.
Besides my Dad and Uncle, cousin Dick Farnsworth, and my Uncle Lou, a Dough-Boy, I have met many veterans and listened to their advice on life and death, and read a lot about them too.
I can bring my attitude with me to the 506th. The more you put in, the more you get out. And I have gear and equipment including some loaner gear.
I am ready and willing to help anyone that tells me that they need it.
I also need assistance with authenticity and knowledge and I am grateful to look and act my best to portray these truly heroic men.
