Golden Knights show off their jump skills in Iwakuni for Friendship Day

The US Army Golden Knights Parachute Team
dove onto Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni to show off their jumping skills and build
upon the U.S.-Japan relationship during the 41st Friendship Day. The mission of the United States Army Parachute
Team is connecting Americas Army with the public whether thats domestic audience
or an international audience. The team saw Iwakunis air show as a perfect
opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and show the community what it means to be
Army Strong. Theres a long history of relations with
the Japanese public here so its really nice to be able to come out here.

And were possibly interacting with people
that maybe have never met an American before and most likely havent seen us jumping
in before. Both days here, yesterday in the practice
and today, they both went really really well. We had everybody execute their maneuvers as
we were supposed to and we all landed back in the target area. Golden signifies the gold medals the
team has won and Knights alludes to the teams ambition to conquer the skies.
