Tom Rice Parachute Jump Celebration!

WWII paratrooper Tom Rice parachuted into Normandy with the 101st Airborne on D-Day. For his 100th birthday on August 15, he will jump in his hometown of Coronado on the beach front of the historic Hotel del Coronado.   The Commemorative Air Force’s C-53D D-Day Doll will drop Rice for his centennial celebration.  D-Day Doll flew missions on D-Day and has been restored and preserved to represent her role in the Allied invasion of Normandy.  D-Day Doll crossed the Atlantic to participate in the 75th Anniversary of D-Day ceremonies that involved Tom Rice.   Former U.S. Navy SEAL Teams with “Beyond the Teams” (BTT) will be providing  Drop Zone Security Detail.  BTT is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting worthy causes and events.  This monumental event is presented by Operation Call-To-Service and will be hosted by the Hotel del Coronado.  The event will take place on Sunday, August 15, 2021 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Hotel del Coronado Beach Front, 1500 Orange Avenue, Coronado, California.
