 Night
Jump Almost Fatal
Cpl Glenn B. Rehmel had a chute malfunction when he jumped over
Lee Field, Fort Benning. He deployed his reserve chute with
just 250 feet of altitude left That must have been a scary
situation as Glenn was still holding the reserve handle when he
landed,
Lee Field was named in honor of Major General William C. Lee, who
was known as the Father of the Airborne, and who was a former
commander of the 101st Airborne Division. |
