Welcome to the website of:
F Company
505th Parachute Infantry Regiment
82d Airborne Division
Living History Detachment (LHD)
The LHD exists to educate the public and the current active duty soldiers of the 82d Airborne Division, through living history, about the achievements and sacrifices of our airborne veterans. We do this in appreciation of the freedoms that we enjoy today, which result, in no small way, from the extraordinary battlefield achievements of units like the 82nd. We also participate in WWII training and tactical battle events to help us authentically portray the fighting men of World War II. The LHD, headquartered at the 82d Airborne Division War Memorial Museum, Ft. Bragg, NC, is composed of active duty and retired military as well as civilians, truly representing the All-American nature of the 82d Airborne Division.
82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum
LHD members dress in historically accurate uniforms and field equipment at public events to support the museum and to help bring the history of the famed 82nd Airborne Division to life. By displaying and demonstrating the use of period airborne equipment, weapons, and vehicles, the LHD seeks to respect and pay tribute to the pioneering paratroopers from the very beginning years of airborne operations in the US Army. The main event for the LHD is All American Week at Ft. Bragg, NC every May. The LHD also supports the Celebrate Freedom Festival Air and Ground Show in Camden, SC as well as other Celebrate Freedom Foundation events in the Midlands of South Carolina.
The Celebrate Freedom Foundation is a Non-Profit Educational and Historical 501-C-3 Corporation that exists to Educate Children, Promote Lasting Patriotism, Honor the Military Past, Present, and Future.
