WORLD WAR II’S SURVIVING DOOLITTLE RAIDERS MAKE FINAL TOAST
Fox News
November 10, 2013
Known as the Doolittle
Raiders, the 80 men who risked their lives on a World War II bombing mission on
Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor were toasted one last time by their
surviving comrades and honored with a Veterans Day weekend of fanfare shared by
thousands.
Three of the four
surviving Raiders attended the toast Saturday at the National Museum of the
U.S. Air Force. Their late commander, Lt. Gen. James "Jimmy"
Doolittle, started the tradition but they decided this autumn's ceremony would
be their last.
