Watch: Utah Veteran, a Purple Heart Recipient, Fulfills Skydiving Dream on 90th Birthday

“I couldn’t hardly move my arm,” Jaramillo said of his injury that led to his Purple Heart. “Even all that, I still saved a guy.”

“I’m going to holler all the way down,” he laughed of the impending 14,000-foot leap as he suited up and got into the plane for his tandem jump.

Jaramillo gave a thumbs-up as he landed, promising he would try to do it again on his 95th birthday.

“I want to do it all over again!” he shouted excitedly with a smile.

Skydive Utah said it gets around one customer over 80 years old each week wanting to jump, according to FOX 13.

Earlier this year, a World War II veteran pilot did his first skydiving jump in Arizona for his 100th birthday, according to People magazine.

Today on his 90th birthday, Korean War veteran and Purple Heart recipient Joseph Dale Jaramillo took the leap he'd been waiting years for. https://t.co/lfNOOeO9rx
