Mother Makes Skydive Salute
THOMAS TOWNSHIP, Mich.- Tina Peters wanted to do something special to salute her son's service to his country as he heads back to Iraq for a second tour, so she jumped out of an airplane.
It was the first jump for the 57-year-old woman.
"My mom's crazy," Air Force Staff Sgt. Jason Peters, 31, said before the jump. "I'll be sitting back with the insurance agent, watching."
His older brother, Ray Peters, 32, was scheduled to skydive with their mother yesterday in a "Jumping for Jason" event at Browne Airport in Saginaw County.
Tina Peters said she wasn't nervous about the jump.
"One of us will scream like a little girl, and it's not gonna be me," she told the Saginaw News.
Sgt. Peters, a member of the 75th Logistics Readiness Squadron, is scheduled to be deployed next week for about 10 months.
