Please join us for the special showing of Libertas, the first in a series of three documentaries commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The Normandy Jump 2019 series will feature Coronado, CA native Tom Rice who was a WWII paratrooper attached to the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division when he parachuted behind enemy lines on June 6, 1944.

Tom went back to Normandy in June 2019 and this documentary showcases the largest living historical event of our lifetime!

This event is sponsored by Honor Flight San Diego and Normandy Jump 2019. Honor Flight San Diego is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and all ticket sales and donations are tax deductible to the maximum extent possible. Proceeds from this fundraiser will directly support WWII and Korea War veterans to go to Washington, D.C. in May 2020 to visit the memorials built for their service and sacrifice.
