“90-year-old Purple Heart Recipient in Utah Lives Out His Skydiving Dream,” and here you go. “A veteran of the United States Army is proving it’s never too late to achieve a dream. Joseph Dale Jaramillo served in the Korean War, was wounded in battle and received the Purple Heart. ‘I couldn’t hardly move my arm. Even all that, I still saved a guy.'”
But he always dreamed of jumping out of airplanes for the Army, and finally he said he signed up for the 101st Airborne but he only weighed 128 pounds, had to weigh 140. I wasn’t aware there was a weight limit like that. Let me tell you, I would qualify.
CLAY: I think your head by itself might qualify.
BUCK: Yeah, it’s a big noggin, it might qualify. But on his 90th birthday Jaramillo managed to bring that long wait to an end. He jumped out of a plane. Clay Travis, why haven’t you, or us, for that matter? Neither of us.
CLAY: I think I might legitimately have a height aversion. It might be a phobia of some sort. One of the most amazing things about studying World War II is seeing all these guys who had worked on farms, hardly been outside their state, first time they ever got in an airplane they jumped out in the 101st Airborne. This is what it sounded like when Jaramillo jumped.
JARAMILLO: Hell on wheels, I still am. I tried going in the service when I was 17. I’m so excited to jump. I signed up for the 101st Airborne. I only weighed 128 pounds. I had to weigh 140. When you’re coming down, a lot of wind’s hitting you. It’s awesome. I want to try to do it at 95. Oh, my gosh. I want to do it all over again.
BUCK: If Joseph can do it, Clay —
CLAY: Not gonna do it. I appreciate his bravery. I don’t have it.
BUCK: We might have to live stream that one here. That’d be quite a thing for The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.
