A 30-year Army veteran who served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War celebrated his 100th birthday by going skydiving.

Polito “Paul” Olivas has more than 300 jumps under his belt — including with the famed 101st Airborne on D-Day — so when his centennial birthday came around, he knew exactly what he wanted to do: go skydiving one more time.
