kenz 0 #1 July 24, 2005 i just wanted to throw this out to anyone that will be in the crosskeys area next saturday (7/30)... a dear friend of mine, sgt chris missick, is going to be doing his first jump... chris is an amazing guy who just finished his tour in iraq a few months ago.. he is now on a venture driving across the country to personally thank those that have been a big support to him while he was gone... he will be documenting these experiences and writing a book about how his support has helped him get through his tour... he is truly a remarkable person.. you can read his whole story at www.webofsupport.com if you're interested.. he's always had a big interest in skydiving, so i told him that when he made it out here i would take him... he's coming, so we're going... and hey why not become an awesome part of his story as well right? afterwards we will be going out to celebrate and anyone and everyone is more than welcome to join us... the invite is definitely open... i hope to see some of you there :) ~kenz"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
