Thank you for having the vision and courage to write and share your oral history. It means a lot to those of us, who lived through some of the same experiences, but did not understood historical events as they unfolded, or the importance of things we did that at the time seemed mundane, but in retrospect, were foot steps in virgin territory. Although I was on the jump in 1980, and knew it was the first all-female jump, I was too young of a soldier and human being to truly understand what the jump really meant, and I viewed the jump as more of a hassle than anything else. Now that I am retired, have more life experience, and have seen enough history to understand and appreciate the march of progress, it is wonderful to find new meaning in my past from someone, who was there and KNEW.

Thank you.

Airborne, All the Way!
