Deadeyes Association


Welcome to the 96th Infantry Division Association's website.  We are Veterans of the "Deadeye" Division of World War II, Soldiers who have worn the Double Diamond Patch after World War II, and their families and friends.

NOTICE: Our Web site is being moved to a new server.  The process is complex and will take some time.  Meanwhile, the Web site and the previous sender can still be viewed at http://96thdeadeyes.web.officelive.com/default.aspx.  The Blog that is being added to our Web site will soon be active here.
