Subject: CAMP TOCCOA WWII/AIRBORNE/VIETNAM REUNION

The Toccoa/Stephens County Historical Society would like to invite you to attend our third annual Camp Toccoa Reunion and Reenactments. Camp Toccoa now made famous by "Band of Brothers" and "Saving Private Ryan" was the birthplace of the 501st, 506th, 511th, and 517th Parachute Infantry Regiments. We will have Veterans, or their families, from all four regiments attend along with Veterans of all conflicts since WWII. The 506th and 501st Vietnam - present day will also have men attend, as well as 101st, 82nd, Rangers, and most other units of the U.S. Army.
This year we are expanding the focus for our reunion and reenactments to include all WWII units. Allied, and Axis. We are having great response throughout the U.S. and Europe. There will be onsite camping and display areas for reenactment groups. Every group that attends are invited to take part in the battles. We will have several hundred re-enactors take part along with several different military vehicle associations.
There will also be displays, and aircraft from today's military. The event will take place at the Toccoa Airport, October 6-9, 2005. We also invite re-enactors and veterans to visit our local schools on Friday. If you ,or someone you know that might be interested please invite them, along with Veterans of all wars.
2005 will be a reunion to remember as this years reunion will include the Grand Opening of the New Toccoa/Stephens County Historical Society Museum. The museum will be housed in the restored Toccoa train depot where most men who trained at Camp Toccoa first came into town. Another event will be the unveiling of the stables used for quarters by first A, then E company of the 506th P.I.R brought "across the pond" from Aldborne England, which will be located inside the museum building.
This has been a $325,000 + dollar project, that is being raised by donations and proceeds from past reunions. We hope everyone who can, will attend the weekend events !
