They Called Us Currahees: The 3-506 Vietnam Legacy - Paperback

by Jerald W. Berry (Author)

"They Called Us Currahees" is not a stand-alone publication, yet serves as an invaluable compilation of historical information concerning the participation of the 101st Airborne Infantry Division in the Vietnam War. I have authored other companion books, which explain in greater detail the many incidents, battles, and missions involving the 3-506th Infantry "Currahees". "The Stand Alone Battalion", published in 2002 is a pictorial chronology of the 3-506 participation in the Vietnam War from 1967-1971. "My Gift To You", published in 2006, contains the stories of those Currahees who died in Vietnam while serving with the 3-506 101st Airborne Division. The book, "Twelve Days In May", released in 2010, explains in great detail the involvement of the 3-506, as well as the 4th Infantry Division Infantry Battalions and support units, in the northern thrust into Cambodia (Operation Binh Tay I) while OPCON to the 4th Infantry Division in May 1970. These companion books, together with "They Called Us Currahees" will give a comprehensive representation of combat in South Vietnam from the personal perspective of those who served with the 3-506 Infantry, fought the battles and suffered the many scars of war.
