Welcome to the home page of the 508^th PIR (Parachute Infantry Regiment) Pathfinders, part of the 82^nd Airborne Division, (reenacted). Our group seeks to recreate and honor the lives and service of the men of the 508th PIR, who were paratroopers in the elite US 82^nd Airborne Division during World War II from 1942 to 1945. The 508th PIR has members in Maryland and Virginia and we participate in living history events, tacticals and reenactments. Our unit strives to accurately portray the paratroopers who served in this division, with emphasis on the 508th PIR, using the same types of uniforms, equipment, weapons and tactics, that they used. If you want more information regarding our group or want to see about joining the 508th PIR,  please contact us at lt508th@gmail.com, pathfinderssg@yahoo.com or rifleman303@yahoo.com or click on membership on the left. We're always looking for a few more good paratroopers! Thanks for stopping by, see you in the assembly area!
