Thanks for the information.

My father who is diseased was paratrooper in the Big Red One during WWII.

How could he be a paratrooper in the 1st Infantry Division, when that division had no organice parachute battalions or regiments and appears to not have had parachute units as attachments either? Parachute infantry typically were organic ergiments of the Airborne divisions or independent parachute battalions and regiments attached to corps and army headquarters for an operational assignment. What parachute infantry, artillery, or other parachute unit was it?

I think you mean your father is “deceased”, not “diseased” God rest his soul
