Up USO Night (2) USO Night (3)

Gainesville's USO Night

Welcome 508th!

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
