But I hope he didn't break his leg in the jump that you mentioned (where a couple of WW2 vets were actually going to jump).  |

Okay, I wanted to make a joke like that but was afraid I wouldn't be able to do so tastefully. Very nice
And God Bless our WWII vets! |

Quoted: No, same place, but he was already injured, nice guy too! The two that did jump did tandem from 8000ft..T Moffat Burris had a perfect landing the other one, Francis Keefe was a little rough, dislocated shoulder. The funny part is that T. Moffat Burris, 89, went over to Francis Keefe, 87, who got hurt and said.. "I've been telling you for years you need to land on your feet, not your shoulder." It was freaking funny!Quoted: Old School 82nd 3-504 PIR E company S/Sgt Louis E Napier.. at his original drop zone in the Netherlands... Being talked to a current 82nd Airborne Ranger!
