From… www.chinaknifes.com Currahee is a Cherokee Indian word, probably meaning that stands alone —- a hero, brave. In 1942, a group of young men gathered in Toccoa, Georgia to form a new paratrooper training camp, and then every day in the mountains near the train called Currahee. The team, which later became the 101st Airborne Division’s 506th, which was later made into a E with “Band of Brothers”in the company. The 506 Group’s training mission is Currahee. As airborne, once parachuting, will not support, they group helpless fighter. They need to hold together, to fight alone.
