Well done sir 🙂🇺🇸
That's one cool man.
The bravest of the brave. Thank you sir.
So much respect for the 101, the 82, the sea born. When i had there age i was doing so many dumb things. And they where heroes.
Thank you from the Netherlands.
So much respect to this guy! I wish I could be brave as him.
My grandfather was 82nd Airborne and jumped durring dday he passed in 2005
Thank you for his service
Thank you!!!
My grandfather is a Moroccan soldier who participated in securing the landing of paratroopers on the French front. And he's happy when i showed scenes from this video and he says war i knew him with real men and he also said that there is no winner in the war my grandfather is 94 years old and still riding his mule and feeding his goats
The greatest generation
This hero is the definition of a badass
Honor and thank a veteran when you see or meet one. There sacrifice our freedom. GOD bless them all.
Bless him very deserved hero well done 🙏🏽🙏🏽
God bless him
Great job Grandpa..have a nice Landing
I love that guy gave two peace symbols
@@michaelmaclean5688 Nice to know that some of us appreciate history and know their stuff!🇺🇸👍🏻
my good friend, awesome
He was coming in a little fast.
Did he hurt his ankle? I hope not. He had a look on his face, I reviewed in slow motion. On another video the lead paratrooper says in the gentleman’s ear that he’s sorry about the landing. The gentleman replied, “It’s okay, no one got hurt”.
“Sorry about the rough landing sir “
“ it’s okay, better than last time..”
Omg!!! Spectacular!!
Bless him
god bless that man
Mr Rice is a hero
A screeming eagle strikes again!!!!
Return to Normandy, one of the aircraft taking paratroopers on jumps with Tom Rice is tail number 348608 with the yellow cockpit Id letters "CD" is "Betsy's Biscuit Bomber", a C-47B built in 1943. It was flown from the Estrella Warbirds Museum collection here at the old WWII Estrella Army Air Corp base outside of Paso Robles, California. This aircraft's last U.S. missions were flying the Berlin Airlift, it was sold to Israel and was later purchased back from the Israeli Air Force and refurbished, there is a sign in Hebrew painted on the lavatory-door that roughly reads, "The only replacement for a Dakota, is another Dakota". The plane was a military transport it's whole life and never converted for civilian us. It still has all of it's original equipment to include the 1943 over-sized desert type sand shield air-scoops atop the engines nacelles and the gear it used for towing combat gliders at Arnhem. So two old veterans get to do it again, I hope they have a smooth and safe flight and jump there and back.
@@irenadudnik780 One of "the" greats, of the greatest generation. ^_^
What a badass.
The plane would say:
“Last flight my old friend...”
Landing was a bit rough for the old man. I've been in that Zepplin hangar twice
Badass
Stoic!!!
Todo un roble.
When men were men and didn't wear dresses (in public at least). Hey, college kids...that is what a hero looks like.
Ouuch hope those knees are okay?!
Damn he seems like he's only in his late 70s
It literally says he’s 97 in the title
Jacob Garcia your dumb
Good story for MSM. Generally low grade lying reporting.
Yorktown 1781 how is anything in this a lie? Was ww2 fake? Was the old man fake? Was the plane fake? What’s the lie here. It’s pretty sad when you say a nice story like this is a MSM lie. MSM sucks but this has nothing wrong with it. We should support those few old guys who are left
The 7 dislikes are neo-nazis
Can anyone tell me of paratroopers are useless
