97-Year-Old D-Day Veteran Parachutes into Normandy for the First Time in 75 Years

For the 75 th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, 97-year-old D-Day veteran Tom Rice returned to the battlefield where thousands of his comrades laid down their lives all those years ago.

On June 6, 1944, thousands of brave men invaded the beaches of Nazi-occupied, Normandy, France.

The invasion reigned victorious for the allies, ultimately paving the way for the Allied forces to take the Western front, but the victory came with the high cost of human lives. It is estimated that more than 4,000 Allied troops were killed in the Normandy landings on that fateful day. Rice, however, escaped death’s grip, and for the first time in 75 years, the airborne soldier returned to the battlefield this week.

Just outside of Carentan, in a tandem jump, Rice, surrounded by hundreds of fellow parachutists, jumped out of a C-47 transport plane and landed in a field of wildflowers, the Associated Press reports.

“Beautiful drive, beautiful jump, beautiful flight. Everything was perfect,” the D-Day veteran told camera crews at the jump.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

‘that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ‘

Romans 10:9
