Thank you, thank you so much for that...as I heard taps, I was crying, thinking it was not only the end of the Doolittle Raiders, but an elegy for America’s death, as well...

Great post, rlmorel.

Like you I read the book after seeing the movie in the early 50’s and it made a lasting impression. Every last one of those men chose to sacrifice for their country and thank God most survived the heroic action.

Back in 1985 when I was at the Defense Language Institute at Monterey, CA, I had the opportunity to talk with General Doolittle at his home in Carmel, CA for about an hour one-on-one.

It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

He was very proud of this picture hanging in his home. Getting his fifth star from President Reagan.

I raise my glass with you for the Doolittle Raiders and for the United States Army! Many of my family have served in the U.S. Army during the course of our Nation's history. God Bless them and God Bless all who have served!

I always think of those men who were captured by the Japanese: Lieutenants Dean E. Hallmark, Robert J. Meder, Chase Nielsen, William G. Farrow, Robert L. Hite, and George Barr, and Corporals Harold A. Spatz and Jacob DeShazer.

Any death of young men in war is sad, but there seemed to me something particularly disturbing and sad about them, apart from the treatment by the Japanese.

Of course they were. I was saluting them and all others in the U.S. Army.
