Awesome story, makes you proud to be a Soldier, 93 year Jim Martin D-Day veteran

A 93-year-old veteran who parachuted into Normandy 70 years ago decided he wanted to make that jump one more time! What made this American hero do it? "A little bit of ego, because I am 93 and I can still do it. Also, I just wanted to show all the people that you don't have to sit and die just because you get old."

Having a problem getting the link (below) to be active, worth the effort to copy and paste the link!

Nice...that is too awesome. I bet he can still do most things he was trained on these days too.
