I got to spend a week in the North Korean Capitol of Pyongyang. We walked through building 3 at JSA, and drove to Pyongyang. I can actually say I've seen freedom village from the north side, and I have a pic of the South Korean building from the North.

I also was one of the 500 paratroopers at the 50th anniversary D-day jump in 94.

That is awesome!  I got to go to St. Mere-Eglise for about a week with the 101st for the 65th anniversary in 2009!  I didn't jump, but we did participate in many ceremonies honoring those who fought so bravely in WWII.

MSgt - Thanks for bringing me supplies. I was one of those guys on the Ice at McMurdo Station. I was on the Ice Runway Ramp when the first C-5 landed. Everyone was so scared that the aircraft would be to heavy for the 12' thick ice. We had the Navy Engineers watching the ice deflection around the plane. It was a big day at McMurdo.
