1 Soldier...

DSC08157, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Nickname "Devils in Baggy Pants." The nickname was taken from an entry made in a German officer's diary.

I walked up to the soldier and asked him if he would mind me getting a photo and he said, " It would be my pleasure." I took the photo and then i shook his hand and thanked him for the photo op.

Floating Down To Earth! This was after the 1st pass of the C130. Each aircraft made 3 passes over the field. I love how they are just suspended in the air by the photograph.
