Bragg practice parachute landing falls after donating toys for an opportunity to earn foreign jump wings during Operation Toy Drop, Pope Army Air Field, , Dec. 7, 2012. 2012 marks the 15th year for the Randy Oler Memorial Operation Toy Drop which collects toy donations for children and families in need and gives paratroopers the opportunity to jump with foreign jumpmasters.
