Who We Are:

We are a World War II living history and reenactment unit authentically portraying the
image of the typical 101st Airborne Division soldier as he would have appeared in
1944-45. The individuals who comprise this unit pride themselves on authenticity and
historical accuracy.

Each member is a dedicated solider who must meet both physical and basic military
skills requirements annually. We do this to honor the memory of those American
Airborne heroes who fought and died in Normandy, Holland, Luxembourg and
Germany. We do this out of deep respect for our World War II veterans- not to just look
good.

Our group is based in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul metro area, with a membership
contingent encompassing the entire Midwest. We are proud to say to say that we are
sponsored by the Minnesota Museum of Military History located at Camp Ripley,
Minnesota. The 502nd is also chartered with the World War Two Historical
Reenactment Society (HRS).

Our Mission Statement:

Our aim is not only to honor the Airborne soldiers of the Second World War, but all
veterans of America's "Greatest Generation" who served their country in her greatest
time of need.

Whether jumping from the skies over Western Europe, wading ashore on the beaches
of the South Pacific, flying in the airless stratosphere through flak or keeping watch on
the deck of a "pig boat" through stormy seas we honor them all.

We are guided by the slogan "Let No Story Go Untold."

Americans and people all over the globe enjoy a better quality of life as a result of their
countless sacrifices. These sacrifices that must never be forgotten by future
generations.

Through living history displays and interactive events, we view America's youth as our
primary audience- helping to educating them about their country's heroic and glorious
past.
