Gainesville's USO Night |
Welcome 508th! said the City of Gainesville as they pulled out all the stops to provide a memorable evening |
USO Themed Evening brought back lots of nostalgia | Oh No, Not Again! This poster brought back many memories as men of the 508th recalled responding to the national need that was reinforced by many signs hanging in post offices or on in stands set on city sidewalks. The 508th men volunteered twice ... once to enlist and then to be parachutists |
Welcome Sight on Welcoming Night. This young lady
was well dressed in period style.
