The 506th Airborne Infantry Regiment Association (Airmobile – Air Assault) is a charitable veterans' organization composed of present and past members and affiliates of a historic U.S Army regiment, the 506th Airborne Infantry Regiment. For much of its distinguished history since it was formed as the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment in World War II, the regiment has been associated with the 101st Airborne Division.〔(101st Airborne Division website )〕 Today, the membership of the association includes veterans of the regiment from its origin in 1942 through current active duty soldiers and includes veterans from its time as part of both the 101st Airborne Division and 2nd Infantry Division. == Organization and status == The 506th Association Bylaws were adopted by association members in April 2000, and the Association was incorporated in the State of California in September 2000, being subsequently granted tax-exempt status, both as a Section 23701W veterans organization from the State of California in February 2001 and as a non-profit organization under Internal Revenue Section 501(a) in May 2001. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service recognized the Association as a Section 501(c)(19) War Veterans organization.〔(IRS veterans organizations )〕 The Association sponsors a broad program of charitable projects beneficial to active duty and veteran soldiers or their families, including academic scholarships, packages for soldiers deployed overseas, and financial assistance programs for the families of soldiers killed or wounded in action.〔(Organization Projects )〕 In supporting these activities, it also brings veterans and active duty troops together. The association hosts a large website dedicated to the history, accomplishments and people of the regiment. The Association is an all-volunteer organization with approximately 3,600 rostered members. The Association operates independently of the 101st Airborne Division Association, but maintains close working relations with that group and with other related veterans’ organizations. The Association holds member reunions every two years at locations around the country to help renew the bonds among members. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「506th Airborne Infantry Regiment Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
