File No. DV-386 (FMC) P6-a
Serial No. 337-5 26 November, 2010
From: Captain McGhee, Commanding Officer
To: All Day of Defeat: Source players
Welcome to the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment web site and Realism unit. Our
unit is rich in tradition and has earned many awards, including two Presidential
Unit Citations. The 504th PIR distinguished themselves as being “A Force to be Reckoned
With.” They succeeded where others failed. They fought the toughest battles. They
became one of the most decorated airborne units of the War. All things considered
it is safe to say that the legacy of the "Devils in Baggy Pants" will live on forever.
As
a realism unit, we are striving towards the same goal as being a strong, tough, and
resilient. Some of our current members came from the former 1st Special Service Force
(1st SSF) while others came from other established realism units. We even have some
that have never had experience in a realism unit. But no matter what the background,
the mission remains the same – to be "A Force to be reckoned with". Weekly drills
and scrimmages are strategies we use to sharpen and hone our skills for competition.
As
the Commanding Officer, I expect a lot, not only from members, but also from myself.
In all members; I expect Professionalism and Maturity. My goal is not to have the
most people, but to have the best people; I believe in Quality over Quantity.
For
me, Day of Defeat: Source is not just a game, but a way to Honor and Respect all
those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for what we have today. Let us not ever
forget those who have served and are presently serving now defending our Freedom
overseas.
Signed,
Captain McGhee
