Jumping out of airplanes is one of my favorite ways to relax and enjoy some great friendships.

I can't imagine doing it while the plane is getting shot at, the jumpers are getting shot at and then landing a little 28ft silk parachute, while carrying 100lbs of gear, into an unkown area, while still getting shot at.

What a man. Rest in Peace.

OH ....... my. Indeed. Anybody who has not seen Band of Brothers has missed something incredible - it's beyond words.
