I am always amazed at and thankful for what others have gone through for me when I see pictures like that one, Elf.

Man, to have balls the size of a mack truck to jump from a perfectly good aircraft.

That is the most wicked part of military deployment to have to do.

Hooah!!!!

When we were kids we'd ask dad, "Was it scary to jump out of an airplane?"

He'd say, "It was the first time. And the second. And the third..."

I can imagine a few good men must have pooped themselves doing that too.

Ever see the HBO series A Band of Brothers?

About Easy Company in the D-Day invasion.

Some of the worlds first Airborne troops.

I haven't seen that. Dad was in Okinawa and the Phillipenes and Japan. I'm glad he wasn't at D-Day.
