If I remember correctly, lots of the old-timers were in on those jumps. John "Spider" Trantanella was the NCOIC of the school in Okinawa, and I think Frank Norbury Sr. was the static jumpmaster on a couple of the insertions. SSG Madison Stroheim (sp) was the NCO that was captured killed and body never recovered.

Sergeant Major Billy Waugh, Staff Sergeant James "JD" Bath and Sergeant Jesse Campbell were on the jump with Sergeant Madison Strohlein.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
