with no result.

Memorial to the 8th Armored Division

To Members and Friends of the 8th Armored Division Association:

We wish to invite veterans, descendants of the veterans, researchers, teachers and students of the history of World War II, and members of veterans' organizations to join us. Our mission is to gather and preserve the stories, pictures, records, and archival data of the 8th Armored Division, and keep their memory alive for the future through reunions, social media, this website and newsletters.

Please help us in this mission by joining the Association, contributing to the newsletter (Thundering Herd), attending reunions, and spreading the word about the group to others.

We are also in the process of raising funds to have a memorial bronze plaque honoring the 8th Armored Divison placed at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, PA. Please help us raise funds by following this link and donating.

We are also in need of volunteers to share in the work of the Association. Please consider lending your talents and skills to this end.
