The regiment was initially formed during WWII in 1942 where it earned its nickname, "Currahees", after the camp's Currahee Mountain. Paratroopers in training ran up Currahee Mountain and back with the shout "three miles up, three miles down!". The Cherokee word, which translates to "Stand Alone", also became the unit's motto. The 506th is a proud and historic unit and we are thrilled to put a modern touch on this design.
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.
