Currahee!!! This is a great story of a heroic soldier from a unit which has had a brilliant and honorable history since it's inception. The 506th Airborne Infantry began in 1942 during World War II, as part of the 101st Airborne Infantry Division. That fine tradition can be seen in the HBO mini series "Band of Brothers".
Lt Brian Brennan continues in the finest tradition of the Airborne and has brought countless honor to his unit and himself. He is a wonderful hero who has given so much of himself to our country. Thank you for my freedom, Currahee!!!
Currahee means 'We stand alone' in Cherokee. The Currahee Mountain is located in Stephen County, Taccoa, Georgia. In 1942, Camp Taccoa was a
United States Army paratrooper training camp during World War II five miles west of Toccoa, Georgia. The name was adopted by the unit during it's origination.
