Eighty-two years after D-Day, history is being rewritten.
U.S. Army Veteran Ingrid Pierce is joining Fox Force 55 for a historic all-women jump into Normandy to honor the women of World War II whose service, sacrifice, and contributions were too often left unrecognized.
This mission is more than a jump. It is an act of remembrance, respect, and restoration.
Every jumper is personally funding her own training and seat on the aircraft to make this mission possible.
Join Warrior Rising in supporting these women as they carry history across the skies of Normandy.

How I accidentally committed to a Basic Parachute Course in my late 40’s:
These things always start innocently enough. You go on a long ruck with people you just met, and before you know it, you’re living out that infamous patch: That sounds like a horrible idea. What time?
Only this time, the horrible idea wasn’t more miles. It was jumping out of a plane.
Last November, Fox Force 55 asked if I wanted to join an all-female commemorative jump into Normandy for the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.
Naturally, I said: “Oh hell yeah.”
What I didn’t realize was this wasn’t a tandem jump. To get to Normandy, I had to complete a Basic Parachute Course and earn my wings with FIVE solo static-line jumps.
So I showed up in Palatka, Florida with my boots, questionable confidence, and a strategy of simply not overthinking it.
The next few days were a blur of PLFs, harness drills, safety briefs involving power lines, alligators, and live firing ranges, plus enough camouflage and bug spray to transport me straight back to my Agency days.
Then came jump week.
Jump 1: panic squat landing. Jump 2: neck burn from the risers. Jump 3: dragged across a runway in high winds like a ragdoll. Jump 4: first jump from a C-47 and everything clicked. Jump 5: partial malfunction, narrowly missed a runway sign, somehow stuck the landing.
Against all odds, I walked away with five solo jumps, blood wings, and zero broken bones alongside an incredible group of women from FF55.
Next stop: the skies over Normandy.
As part of GORUCK’s commitment to 1% for those who serve, 100% of proceeds from the AIRBORNE 8.2 Miler will support Fox Force 55 and this all-female commemorative parachute team.

Women have always answered the call to serve.
In June 2026, Fox Force Foundation will make history with a first-of-its-kind all-women static line jump into Normandy to honor the legacy of the women of the Greatest Generation and inspire the leaders of tomorrow.
This mission is bigger than a jump.
It is about courage.
It is about resilience.
It is about standing together and proving what is possible when women lead from the front.
From veterans and first responders to law enforcement and intelligence professionals, these women are carrying forward a legacy built on sacrifice, service, and strength.
Warrior Rising is proud to support Fox Force Foundation and their mission to honor the past while empowering the future.

What if you could hold history… and move it forward?
This isn’t just a ring.
It carries wood from a safehouse that sheltered the #82ndAirborneDivision as they stepped into the unknown and infiltrated Normandy 82 years ago. It is interwoven with parachute silk from a WWII-era parachute.
And it is forged with sand carried from the beaches of Normandy.
Only 25 will ever xist.
Each one individually numbered.
And every single one does more than honor the past—
it funds the next generation of women stepping into history as they prepare to jump into Normandy. on this 82nd Anniversary of DDay.
This is legacy you can wear.
This is impact you can be part of.
When they’re gone… they’re gone.
Claim your place among the 25.
