On 1 July 1941, the 502nd Parachute Infantry Battalion was activated at Fort Benning, GA.
This new unit was initially composed of two skeleton companies from the 501st. "The Deuce" jumped into Normandy, Market Garden, and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Captain Frank Lillyman, an officer in charge of the regiment's pathfinder platoon, was the first American jumper of the night - celebrated as the first American paratrooper to drop behind German lines in the Allied invasion of Normandy.
WETSU Shirt Description
Made from a 4.3 oz., 60/40 combed ring-spun cotton/polyester blend, pre-laundered for a soft, comfortable feel. Designed with an athletic fit—may shrink slightly, so DD214 bodies may need to size up.
Proudly Printed in the USA by Veterans
Each shirt is made to order and printed by U.S. Veterans using vintage water-based inks. The vintage ink will give it a vintage look and the feel is incredibly soft and gets even smoother after the first wash. The print fully absorbs into the fabric for a lightweight, no-scratch feel—so you can move without distraction.
