I will see a guy today that was 82nd in the early 70's. I will thank him for his service, and make sure he has a good day.

Airborne Here... 89-92

Airborne All The Way!

I was one of the few folks that wore the leaning shite house with the Airborne tab.

I never knew when I signed up how much it would effect my life. I approach challenges like a paratrooper even still and I'm 47 years old.

I just met and took my picture with a gentleman who survived the Pearl Harbor attack. He’s 101 years old, lied about his age and enlisted at 16 years old.
