Doolittle Tokyo Raiders Ping.

They returned to the museum in Ohio for a Saturday event ceremony to present the Raiders’ Congressional Gold Medal for display.

“It just happens that way, I guess,” Thatcher, of Missoula, Montana, said of being one of the last survivors.

“Something’s just got to give,” said Cole, a Dayton native who lives in Comfort, Texas.

The museum’s director, retired Lt. Gen. Jack Hudson, accepted the medal, the highest honor Congress can give a civilian, for them in Washington on Wednesday.
