Remember..Honor.. and Serve. This is the motto of the All Veteran Parachute Team. They provide parachute demonstrations including educating families about our military history and how to support our veterans.
Their team provides precision parachute demonstrations in support of veteran related interests; to showcase skill-sets acquired through military service to prospective civilian employers of military veterans; to provide a high-visibility public outreach capability on behalf of veterans’ supported by organizations and corporate sponsors.
We had the good fortune to meet this fine group of men on the last day of the National Warplane Museum Air Show in Geneseo, New York on June 13, 2014. We were delighted to learn that the All Veteran Parachute Team also provides “Therapy in the Air” which is a tandem skydiving program for combat injured troops and their family members to experience a life changing moment that brings joy and positive outlook on life through difficult times. The veteran soldier is instructed to write on a card a fear that he wishes to release. That card and noted fear is then “cast to the winds” upon their parachute jump and freeing them of the fear going forward in their lives.
The All Veteran Parachute Team assisted former President George H. W. Bush in celebrating his 90th birthday with a tandem skydive, landing on the lawn of St. Anne’s church in Kennebunkport, Maine. They also completed a tandem jump with Helen Patton, granddaughter of General George Patton in the Geneseo Warplane Museum’s Whiskey 7 over Normandy for the 70th anniversary.
