“Do You Fear Falling?”
This is Thomas F. McClarren – 82nd Airborne Division – U.S. Army – the last of the McClarren Family that I have pictures of that did join and serve and were “LUCKY” to return home! To be a “Paratrooper” – I’ll just bet that the question you are most asked would be, – “How can you jump out of a perfectly fine flying airplane – are you not afraid of falling and getting hurt?” — Tom is the one in our “FAMILY” – that would be asking someone downstairs something – and before you could turn to answer – there he was – – at the foot of the stairs? Never could figure what there was about “TOM” – that caused him to fall out windows and down stairs – and never got hurt doing so? I’m guessing the “GOOD LORD” was saving “TOM” for the big jump of his “LIFE” out of “AIR-PLANES!”
This Memorial weekend and all this coming week – let me send this Salute – to all our ARMED FORCES – a prayer to Almighty Yahweh – to bless and protect our young men and women – until they can return home to their “LOVED” ones – “Send Love to all our Loved ones who are making great sacrifices!”
