I think young Michael is a future paratrooper.
I noticed the 82nd did not jump in although in the other post it showed them route marching with their parachutes on. Seeing the water on the tarmac I am guessinjg they were going to jump in as part of a demonstration, but they encountered bad weather.

Tom, I sure hope his dream comes true.
He is such an adorable little boy.
I was wondering about that and I looked
and looked for a Video of the day and
could only find them from last year.
Maybe it takes awhile for them to get
a video at YouTube ir they have one I mean.
Yes the ground too it looked almost fake
all shiny and glass like I kept looking at it,
but I finally thought maybe it rained hard.
