WWII Doolittle Raiders making final toast
I was 1 year old when 80 brave American's, led by James Harold Doolittle, volunteered for a mission to strike back at Imperial Japan following their attack on Pearl Harbor.
It's sad to think that that number 80 has dwindled to 4.
One of our local roads, here in the Florida panhandle, passes near the "makeshift carrier deck", where they practiced for the mission; when I pass that old airfield, I can't help but glance over at that runway and imagine those B-25 Mitchell's straining to get airborne. I'm sure that I'm not alone.
