As a strapping young soldier, I was a paratrooper and "jumped out of perfectly good airplanes." Most jumps were from 800 feet, although a few were from 4,000 feet. Yesterday, 90-year-old former President George H. W. Bush jumped from 6,000 feet. (Sure, it was a tandem jump, meaning he was harnessed to somebody else, but his legs are now useless. It is all good!)
Mr. President, I proudly salute you!
