    Then Cpl. Larry Rayburn, now an information operations sergeant major with 36th Infantry Division, pauses for a moment prior to pre-mission inspections. Rayburn was a lead scout with 2nd Platoon, Company G, 143rd Infantry (Airborne Ranger) during an ill-fated training mission in January 1985. He and his “stick” parachuted into Germany battling bitter cold and dense fog. Missing their landing zone by five kilometers, the men spent the next few hours recovering gear and severely injured teammates. (Photo courtesy of Sgt. Maj. Larry Rayburn)
