Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hi, I do not know all the history of the 101st during WWII, but my 23 yr old son is now serving in 101st Airborne, Ft. Campbell, KY. He has served 1 tour in Iraq (returned last Sept) and will be deploying again this Sept., 2007---I am certainly praying that these plans will change.

I can tell you that my son, a Bastonge Bulldog, is a fine young man, tough, loyal and always does his best at whatever he sets out to do. I have seen a lot of the 101st, 1st Brigade, and can tell you---they are the best.
