    World War II veteran Vincent Speranza, 88, from Auburn, Ill., is helped from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter after riding with Soldiers assigned to U.S. Army Alaska's 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, who jumped from the helicopter at JBER. Speranza, a combat veteran of H Company, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, then part of the 101st Airborne Division, fought at Bastogne, was wounded in combat shortly after the Battle of the Bulge, and when the 101st Airborne deactivated after the war was transferred to the 82nd Airborne for a brief period.
