Army Cadet earns her Wings the hard way

Jennifer Reeger

Katie Winwood didn't panic when she became entangled in another jumper's parachute lines at 1,250 feet above Fort Benning, Ga.
She didn't panic when she couldn't free herself by kicking.
She didn't panic when her parachute rolled up like a cigar.
She didn't panic when she couldn't pull her way out or drop down to the other jumper below her.
But when her reserve parachute didn't work, she panicked.
For the senses - shattering climax, see here

I was in the air when this amazing person had a bad jump. She really impressed me and I don't think I will ever forget her.

She has a strong mind, a strong body, and a caring heart.

she is a great friend of mine too. We went to school together, had class together and served in the armed forces together.
