“79” is the new “29.” What is your excuse? 🥋💪

Vietnam Veteran John Gorman dropped into Caserma Del Din to teach 173rd Airborne Brigade paratroopers some Brazilian jiu-jitsu on Nov. 19. Seventh-degree black belt. Coral belt. Professional reminder that age is just a number.

Retired Master Sgt. Niles Harris returned six decades later to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. There, he honored the 48 #SkySoldiers 🪂 who never came home after Operation Hump. Their sacrifice later inspired Big & Rich’s “8th of November.”
