🎖 Troopers, One and All — Big News from Phantom Airborne Brigade!
We’re proud to officially launch the Live Like Larry Award — a program created in memory of our brother Larry, a man who lived with heart, grit, and a deep love for the Airborne life. 🇺🇸🪂
This award helps qualified Paratroopers rejoin the sky with their fellow veterans by covering jump fees, travel, lodging, or membership costs that might be standing in the way.
If you’ve been wanting to get back under the silk but life’s been holding you back — we’ve got your six. No shame in asking. We’ve all stood in your boots. This program isn’t charity—it’s brotherhood in action.
The Live Like Larry Award is about honoring a fellow Paratrooper by helping others get back under canopy where they belong. Whether it’s your first jump in decades or your fiftieth, you’re not alone.

To qualify:
✅ Be a U.S. military veteran with an Army Airborne Qualification
✅ Be a member or prospective member of Phantom Airborne Brigade
✅ Be planning to attend a supported or hosted static-line jump event

Larry jumped with heart. Now we help others do the same.

I am sad to report that at 12:54 Sunday April 13th our brother Larry Bales passed. He was survived his wife Jean Bales and family. Please remember them in your prayers. He completed his jump yesterday doing what he loved. God took him but he will alway be in our hearts. He will be buried in Dayton National cemetery, when I get details, I will post. Pray for Jean and family.
