Where Do We Find Men Like This?

And where would we be without them?

Sgt. George Perez with the U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team jokes that when he makes a rough landing, he's always sure to let his left leg take the brunt of the abuse.

That's because his leg is pretty special.

"If I jump and twist it or break it, I can always just go back and get a new one," Perez says as he grins and taps on the metal of his prosthetic leg. "It's pretty tough, though. Actually, this one is bullet proof, too. It's the one I wore when I was fighting over in Afghanistan."
