Golf, Anyone?

PARACHUTING FROM A HELICOPTER over a drop zone inside Camp Dawson, W. Va., a lieutenant colonel from the Special Forces Group Airborne found himself doing battle with a sudden 22-knot wind, which forced him onto a nearby golf course. On landing, the Green Beret fumbled for the release but another gust drove the chute and its struggling captive down the fairway, catching the attention of three players about to tee off. "Can we help?" shouted the golfers.

Sliding by them, the officer clung to his sense of humor as well as his pride. "No, thanks," he called out. "I'll just play through."
