101ST AIRBORNE REENACTMENT ASSOCIATION, INC.
The MISSION of the 101st Airborne Reenactment Association is to educate others in understanding our country’s history during the period of WWII, and to preserve our nation’s historical legacy for future generations, in memorial to all those who gave their lives, devotion, service and determination in support of this legacy.
Our GOAL is to provide an interesting and entertaining means of learning about our country’s involvement in WWII, with emphasis on the men whose loyalties and convictions bound them to duty in service to the United States Armed Forces in the European Theater of Operation.
We are an independent, Not-for-profit Association, organized for the purpose of education and historic preservation. We serve schools, scout groups, Veterans associations, historical organizations, community events and private functions by participating in living history impressions, encampments, reenactments, battle tactics, skirmishes, drills, period music and infantry and medical scenarios.
As a non-partisan, non-political group, we attempt to educate others as to the real history of the men who served with honor their country - service men who gave the ultimate sacrifice to free the world of tyranny.
"The 101st...has no history, but it has a rendezvous with destiny."
