AIRBORNE MEMORIAL PATH
As you walk on the museum grounds, you will notice a path made of engraved stones. Each stone is beautifully engraved with a WWII airborne veteran's name and unit. Created to pay tribute to those airborne veterans who fought in the ETO during WWII, these stones make the Carentan Historical Center a unique place of rememberance. The Airborne Path lies on the historical field where Cole started his famous bayonet charge, where the blood of so many was spilled. The names of these brave men will remain on this significant battlefield site for generations to come, for all to see and recall. Years from now, when WWII is but a dim memory relegated to history books, most visitors will wonder who these men were. They were Airborne, and who they were, and what they did, is what these future generations will learn inside the museum.
BECOME A PART OF THE AIRBORNE MEMORIAL PATH
If you fought in Europe during WWII with an airbone unit (or were attached to an airborne unit), if you flew paratroopers into combat as part of the Troop Carrier Command or if you participated in the liberation of Carentan, then you are eligible to take your place here, among these heroes. Leave a mark by having your name and unit engraved on one of these stones and placing it on the Airborne Path.
OFFER A SPOT TO SOMEONE SPECIAL
Give a WWII airborne veteran to whom you wish to pay tribute - perhaps a fallen comrade, or a husband, a father, a brother, someone you loved or simply someone you want to see remembered - a lasting memorial on this significant historical soil.
