Tom Rice grew up in the military community of Coronado, California, and joined the U.S. Army in November 1942. He then went through the rigorous training for airborne troops at Camp Toccoa and Ft. Benning. He was assigned to the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division and would see action in three major campaigns in the European theater of World War II.
In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Rice takes along on his jump into Normandy on D-Day and his first combat against the Germans. Then he describes his experiences as part of Operation Market Garden, the ultimately ill-fated Allied effort to cross the Rhine in September 1944. And he details the very difficult conditions at the Battle of the Bulge. Finally, Rice explains why he's made additional parachute jumps for the 75th anniversary of D-Day and for his 100th birthday.
