WWII paratrooper, 82nd Airborne legend dies

One of the original members of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment — and one of fewer than 2,800 All American paratroopers to have made all four World War II combat jumps with the 82nd Airborne Division — has died.

Retired 1st Sgt. Harold Eatman was 102. He died Friday at home in Matthews, North Carolina, the 82nd Airborne Division announced this weekend.
