Just got an email, complete with pictures. Like you, I was a bit confused by the “Last” toast. Here’s what my email said:

---

“So now, out of the original 80, only four Raiders remain: Dick Cole (Doolittle’s co-pilot on the Tokyo raid), Robert Hite, Edward Saylor and David Thatcher. All are in their 90s. They have decided that there are too few of them for the public reunions to continue.
...
The men have decided that after this final public reunion they will wait until a later date — some time this year — to get together once more, informally and in absolute privacy. That is when they will open the bottle of brandy.

The years are flowing by too swiftly now; they are not going to wait until there are only two of them.”

May God Bless you and your families, Gentlemen, and also the families of all those whose goblets are already upside-down.

That’s the one I was referring to, thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. God Bless them.
