FAMILIES...you are the future of our 65th Infantry Division!
Join our association and share the stories of the men of the 65th. We're researching the history, sharing stories and pictures and sharing the legacy of what these men we're so proud of did in WWII.
Our association consists of nieces and nephews, sisters and brothers, grandkids and children of our 65th Veterans. We have Gold Star families who are members. We've all joined to keep this legacy alive, make new friends and share in our combined heritage.

We ask for donations toward the publication. You can elect to receive the Halbert electronically, but we ask for regular donations to keep the Halbert mailed to veterans and to defray costs involved.
Suggested donation is $25 annually to help cover the costs of printing and shipping. We're a volunteer organization and printing costs are higher than your regular magazines. We hope to offer an electronic version in the future.
