The team verse is Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." I think this picture captures that pretty well. What do you think?

The video camera captured teammate Jeremy (a toy paratrooper) exiting the capsule and beginning his descent. Unfortunately, Jeremy remains MIA. He was last seen near Brannon Stand and Fortner heading north. He has a green and white parachute, but it is white only on the bottom. He does have a phone number on his chute. You can also report his recovery here. We hope to be able to report his return soon.
