Jumping out of an airplane. It's not your typical birthday celebration, especially for someone celebrating the big 100.

Yep, you read that right. Skydive Palatka made D-Day Veteran Tom Rice's 100th birthday wish come true with a skydive from a vintage World War II airplane this past weekend in San Diego.

Art Shaffer of Skydive Palatka and his team flew to California to perform a tandem skydive landing at the famous Coronado Hotel in San Diego. San Diego was Rice's hometown, where he signed up to serve after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
