Founded in November 2000, the purpose of the "35th SANTA FE DIVISION IN NORMANDY" is the protection of the historical inheritance of this unit. Since its foundation, the Association has conducted research and visited various sites in Normandy where the 35th Division engaged in battle. The Association also tries to preserve historical items of the era, like badges and insignia, uniforms, reports, official and private papers. They are in search of any documents and information referring to the 35th Division.
In 2001, 400 graves of 35th Division soldiers were decorated to remember their sacrifice. The Association received many veterans and their families and several contacts were established.
Any veteran of the unit wishing to come to Normandy can contact the Association at the following address:
