How can one not want to stand smartly at attention and salute these brave warriors. To them go the thanks, and to them go the honor.

God bless the Doolittle Raiders. Those guys really embody the American spirit. Who would have thought that you could launch Army bombers from Navy aircraft carriers and strike the heart of Japan? It was so crazy that we made it work!
