Fold3 The web's premier collection of original military records.
(549)

Fold3 provides convenient access to US military records, including the stories, photos, and personal documents of the men and women who served. The Fold3 name comes from a traditional flag folding ceremony in which the third fold is made in honor and remembrance of veterans who served in defense of their country and to maintain peace throughout the world. Original records at Fold3 help you discover and share stories about these everyday heroes, forgotten soldiers, and the families that supported them. On Fold3, you can combine records found on the site with what you have in your own albums and shoeboxes to create an online memorial for someone who served.

From leading the Tuskegee Airmen in the skies over Europe to breaking barriers on the ground, Gen. Benjamin O. Davis Jr. made history as the U.S. Air Force's first Black general officer in the US Air Force.

Following in the trailblazing footsteps of his father—the U.S. Army's first Black general—Davis Jr. flew 60 combat missions in WWII, paving the way for generations of aviators. In 1998, President Bill Clinton awarded him his 4th star, cementing a legacy of unmatched courage and leadership. https://f3.social/6yff

Imagine sending a text message in 1943—no touchscreens, no Wi-Fi, just shortwave radio signals and a heavy-duty mechanical keyboard!

During World War II, the teletype machine was the backbone of military communication. It allowed units to send and receive typed messages across continents over wired or shortwave radio circuits.
