101st Airborne Sites

CaP bUsTa · **101st Airborne Sites -** 04-15-2003, 09:58 PM

I have been doing some research on the 101st Airborne recently and I have been trying to find a site that had all the specific regiments and battalions of the 101st in World War 2. The reason for this is that my grandpa was a captain in the 101st and he participated in the drop before d-day, market garden, and the defence of bastogne before he was finally wounded in combat. I have been wanting to find out more about what he did in the war but he doesnt like talking to me about it and I'm not one to ask him. I havnt been able to find any sites so far and being that you are all major war buffs I thought you could help me.
thanks

Yeah....I think all the units changed once the 101st became Air Assault and not Airborne.

On my backpack is the 101 patch if the bag fails I'm going to cut it off and sew it on the next bag. I just need a 82nd patch and the Marine logo (Globe and Anchor looks sweet). Then if I can find some WWII German division patch's like the SS ruins and stuff so people don't freak out.
