Some guys just can't get enough...

D-Day Paratrooper to repeat jump--70 years later.
Quote:
DAYTON, Ohio (Army News Service, June 2, 2014) -- Veteran paratrooper Jim "Pee Wee" Martin, who jumped into Normandy on D-Day, is returning to coastal France to mark the 70th anniversary of the invasion that changed the course of World War II.
...
Martin said he hopes to leap from the skies again during the anniversary.

"I truly would want to do that one, because there's no other 93-year-old guy in the unit who can do it but me," he said. Martin was a private first class with the elite 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.
