I salute your Father, he’s an American hero. What an amazing generation of men.

Soldiers don’t like MPs because MPs reel them in when when they’re drunk or AWOL, and they don’t like Airborne because they think it’s an abomination to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.

I can’t say I disagree, but somebody had to jump into Normandy, and that somebody had to use parachutes.

Our family lost a member of the 101st in Viet Nam. I guess his name could be looked up somewhere on the web. His last name was Kaiser. He was my first cousin.
