U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Fran Hendricks holds original sewn prototypes of the Military Freefall Parachutist Badge during an interview at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Tasked in 1993 by U.S. Special Operations Command leadership, Hendricks helped lead the effort to design and establish the badge, which was officially approved for wear in 1994 to recognize military personnel qualified in high-altitude freefall operations.
