RETIREMENT ROAD TOUR #1

We are in Helena, MT.

Years ago (1980’s) I used to come here with my military unit to do mountain and winter warfare training. We would base out of Fort Harrison and travel up to the Bitterroot Valley and climb near Hamilton. We would spend a month in the winter and a month in the summer. We would always static-line parachute in and someone would always get injured because of the winds and the thin air. Old time static line parachutes used porous cloth and you fell fast. Luckily there is a VA hospital directly next to the Drop Zone. 😳

The First Special Services was a joint US and Canadian unit that fought in WW2.



We had a reunion with a bunch of the original members of the unit, it was really cool hearing their war stories.
