The 101st Airborne Division Website Has Moved to Substack.
We're Building for a Better Future and Community.
I’m excited to announce today that the 101st Airborne Division website has moved to a brand new platform.
As a content creator and digital media professional, I’m continually exploring new technologies and apps that make our lives easier, especially as most of us use our mobile devices for almost everything internet related these days.
Additionally, building a vibrant community around shared interests or passions is better when you have the right tools in place to do so. This is one reason why Facebook groups became so popular. We want to feel connected!
So with those aspects in mind I decided to move to the Substack publishing platform for our growing Screaming Eagles community. 🦅
The Benefits of This New Platform
While the overall look and feel of our published content remains largely the same, the way in which we can engage with this content and each other will provide more flexibility.
Email Delivery 📧
All subscribers to this publication will continue to receive email updates as new content is available.
Notes 🗒️
Much like Twitter, this feature allows all subscribers to post and interact with a variety of content - written, photos, and video.
Chat 💬
Paid subscribers who want to engage in conversations about our military interests can now participate in discussions with our chat feature.
Referral Program 🗣️
All subscribers will be able to share about our publication and earn points for referrals, which can be then redeemed for 101st Airborne gifts or other perks.
Podcast and Videos 🎦
Substack provides us with the ability to explore podcasting and video options for the future.
Free and Paid Subscriptions 🤩
Most of our content will remain free forever but we’ll also introduce a paid subscription to include additional VIP benefits.
Gift Subscriptions 🎁
This option allows us to give away paid annual and lifetime subscriptions to people in our group as a thank you.
Mobile App 🔥
Perhaps one of the best features is you can download and install the Substack app giving you the ability to engage from your mobile device.
But wait there’s more! 👍🏼
Existing members are getting a free lifetime upgrade.
I truly appreciate all of you being a part of this community and being involved since the launch of this website so you are being upgraded to a free lifetime membership. This means no matter what we offer now or in the future, you will have access to it all as long as you are a member. All for no charge.
There’s nothing you have to do or sign up for either. I’ve imported your accounts and comped you all with immediate access. It’s a small thank you for your involvement. Of course you can opt out at anytime as well.
Finally there will be more additions made over the next couple of months including an online store (discounts for members of course), recommended providers for battlefield visits, interviews with people in the military community, and more.
I welcome your ideas, suggestions, and feedback as we grow this website into something truly special. Please don’t hesitate to message me or share your thoughts in the comment section.
As we continue to lose many of our heroes from the Greatest Generation, it’s important to keep their legacies alive. We are free today because of their sacrifices and I hope we can keep it that way! One way to do so is remembering their history.
Thanks again for reading and being a friend of our Screaming Eagles community.
⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: Our domain address, 101stAirborneDivision.com, is still being moved to this new platform. You may experience disruption as this goes through the process. No need to bookmark the Substack address.
Glad to be here!!
