It’s not often that you get to see things from the perspective of a U.S. Army paratrooper. Here’s a peek at what it’s like to jump from a plane over Fort Bragg, N.C.. #KnowYourMil

In case you missed it... 73 years ago, yesterday, Lt. Audie Murphy was presented with the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during WWII. While commanding ...his Bravo Company, which was under attack by several enemy tanks and numerous infantrymen near Holzwihr, France, then 2nd Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw and prepared positions in the woods. He alone remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Nearby one of his tank destroyers was hit and caught fire. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their attack to waver. To read more about the brave actions of Lt.
