Them: "Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" Me: Because I'll be connected to a US Army Golden Knight!
I'm so thankful for our military and love shining light on the superheroes they are. Little did I know, you could join the Army and jump out of airplanes all day - what an amazing job to have!
Once again, I'll be hosting this year's American Legion World Series Games. Each year, the Golden Knights join the festivities and parachute onto Keeter Stadium at Shelby High School. It's a magical thing to witness. Last year I had the honor to ride in the plane with the parachuters but today I had the privilege to be connected to one of the best Golden Knight Tandem jumpers and have the ride of my life! It was AMAZING!! Hands down one of the best experiences of my life! (That's coming from a girl who is terrified to fly.) Big thank you to my guide, Ryan. He was beyond professional, HUMOROUS and made sure I felt safe every milli-second of the jump. I can't wait to share my story with you tomorrow morning but until then, here are some pictures and video from today. Be brave and never let fear hold you back from some of the most incredible experiences of your life.
