I just wondered if they were too feeble to make it to the reunion. I have the highest respect for Doolittle's Men. When we lived in Japan, my father took me to the site where they interred the captured fliers and tortured them. I was only six or seven at the time and didn't grasp the enormity of what my father was telling me. My father also took me to where the USAF recovered my cousin's body who was a pilot and died during the May 1945 B-29 low level bombing raids over Tokyo. Japan during the 1950's was one large historical site for an USAF brat.
