Just back from the kids first pipeline school!!!!! I was able to see the Rick make all five jumps and was both honored and humbled to be asked to speak at the graduation. No less than twenty 2nd and 3rd generation jumpers received their wings from fathers and grandfathers, there were about 100 parents, family members and friends both on the Drop Zone and at Graduation. We were also honored to have the 10th Gp SF Sergeant Major (Son Graduated) and a special visit by Jesica Lynch whose brother was also a graduate. IF YOU WANT TO SEE ANY OF THE JUMPS IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and enccouraged by the cadre at Ft Benning. It is a fantastic experience to share with your pipeliner. Graduation is a very moving event and has not changed since the first parachute tests were conducted in 1940.
Rick Congratulations. I am proud and honored to welcome you into the family of those who begin as PARATROOPERS. I was honored to pin your wings and I will be honored to pass on my crest. HOOYAH
