GI amputee parachutes safely

The Associated Press
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - An 82nd Airborne Division soldier who was maimed by a roadside bomb in Iraq has made his first parachute jump since his leg was amputated below the knee.
Spc. George Perez, 21, of Carteret, N.J., said earlier this year one of his goals was to jump again so he could rejoin his unit in Afghanistan early in 2005. He was wounded in 2003.
