If you missed the celebration, we have some very nice video links for you below.

Video footage of the President’s jump and interview with Sgt. 1st Class Mike Elliot who tandem jumped with the former President on both his 85th and 90th birthdays.

WCSH-6, NBC-TV in Portland, Maine has some great on-the-ground footage of the jump that you probably haven’t seen if you are from outside Southern Maine.
