First time I donated, I was at Ft. Bragg, NC, and Gen. Joe Stillwell, JR, had just creamed into the ground on a parachute jump. Was a holiday weekend, 1965, I"m thinking July 4/Labor Day...not too many troops around. He had a total malfunction of the main chute, a Mae West with the reserve. You hit at about 50 mph!

I was in the late stages of Special Forces training....we donated! Nice large shot of whiskey in the glass afterwards- they just said..."say when!". He recovered, walked again, but ironically was lost in a plane crash in the Pacific some time later. His Dad, SR, was a famous WWII General.
