I read this great story on Caller.com and had to pass it on. Harry Shaw, a retired U.S. Army paratrooper lost both legs in a friendly fire airstrike while involved in the invasion of Grenada 27 years ago. This guy never gave up, succeeding in earning a college degree. getting married and carrying on with his life, Airborne all the way! Shaw had 32 jumps to his credit before the Grenada incident. Ever since he got wounded, he had wanted to jump again. His wish came true and he made his 33rd, making a tandem jump on October 23rd, 2010. That grandpa makes this grandpa proud! Please read the rest of the story on the following caller.com link:
