Them guys had balls. Met a guy at our Legion years ago who did that. When I told him I was with the 101st Airborne for a little while, he reached into his pocket and showed me his glider wings.

In WWIi, they had unique names for their missions! However,when our folks got captured by them. The Germans knew much about them, before they joined the military! The Germans during that time had many spies in the United States!
