Over heard at a bar one night.
Two of Canada's finest airborne soldiers where arguing over who had the most completed jumps.
The first of canada's finest boasted that he had 178 completed jumps without an injury.
The second of Canada's finest boasted that's nothing I've got 286 completed jumps.
An old man sitting in the corner nursing a beer piped up and said I've jumped out of a plane.
One of the airborne soldiers said when did you jump out of a plane grandpa.
The old man slowly got up and made his way over to the bar.
He pulled a battered piece of cloth from a pocket and threw a well worn Pegasus shoulder patch on the bar between the two solders.
He said 4 jumps, two practice, D Day, and Arnhem.

Honor those who have gone before!
