Shirley Romig who is 73 years of age is one person who does not listen to people who say that she is too old to participate in skydiving in her home state of Oregon.
Romig enjoys the rush that she gets from her skydiving out of airplanes since she is making these skydiving shows to benefit military veterans who are in need of a service dogs.
Romig completed for her latest skydive at Beaver Oaks Airport in Eagle Creek Oregon to raise funds for military veteran Ralph Hatley who is in need of a service dog himself.
Hatley is the owner of Skydive Inc. It is nice to see someone like Shirley follow her desires of skydiving to assist military veterans.
Her not for profit group Paws Assisting Veterans is one way she is doing her part to assist our veterans of war heal from their life challenges.

In my view of life, I will be bowling or playing tennis on a video game until I am not able to do it anymore.

I like people like Shirley who uses her passions to give back to our brave men and women in the military when they need help.

I think that is great if she can do it. I am afraid of heights and could not do that. Besides these days 73 is not even considered to be very old.

I also have this fear of heights as well. I admire these people who do the skydiving games for charity.
