The planes stage at Grimes Field, Urbana, Ohio and travel together for a reunion of the remaining few Doolittle Raider WWII Veterans at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum in Fairborn / Dayton Ohio. Grimes is credited with designing the pulsating lights in WWII aircraft. Several thousand people attend the ceremony, complete with autograph signing in the museum hangars.

Please watch for a better understanding of the event =========== http://www.doolittlereunion.com/ The Doolittle Tokyo Raiders was a group eighty men from all walks of life who flew into history on April 18, 1942. They were all volunteers and this was a very dangerous mission. Sixteen B-25 bombers took off from the deck of the USS Hornet, led by (then Col.) Jimmy Doolittle. They were to fly over Japan, drop their bombs and fly on to land in a part of China that was still free. Of course, things do not always go as planned. The months following the attack on Pearl Harbor were the darkest of the war, as Imperial Japanese forces rapidly extended their reach across the Pacific. Our military was caught off guard, forced to retreat, and losing many men in the fall of the Philippines, leading to the infamous Bataan Death March. By spring, 1942, America needed a severe morale boost. The raid on Tokyo on April 18, 1942, certainly provided that – cheering the American military and public. Yet, the Doolittle Raid meant so much more, proving to the Japanese high command that their home islands were not invulnerable to American attacks and causing them to shift vital resources to their defense. Two months later that decision would play a role in the outcome of the Battle of Midway, the American victory that would begin to turn the tide in the Pacific War. In order to honor all the Raiders, past and present, for their valor, courage and patriotism, we are working to get the Congressional Gold Medal awarded while we still have three members who are able to travel to receive the award. ============ http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123370296 Doolittle Raiders' Final Toast by Desiree N.

Palacios) 11/10/2013 - WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFNS) -- The Air Force hosted the famed Doolittle Tokyo Raiders' final toast to their fallen comrades during an invitation-only ceremony Nov. 9 at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. "Tonight is a night of conflicting emotions: pride in our Doolittle Tokyo Raiders, sorrow at the end of a mission and a myriad of other emotions," retired Maj. Lloyd Bryant, the Master of Ceremonies, said as he opened the ceremony. On April 18, 1942, 80 men achieved the unimaginable when they took off from an aircraft carrier on a top secret mission to bomb Japan. These men, led by Lt. Col. James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle, came to be known as the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders. The ceremony was attended by three of the four living Doolittle Tokyo Raiders: retired Lt. Col. Richard "Dick" E. Cole, the copilot of Aircraft No. 1; Lt. Col. Edward J. Saylor, the engineer-gunner of Aircraft No. 7; and Staff Sgt. David J. Thatcher, the engineer-gunner of Aircraft No. 7. The fourth living Doolittle Raider, retired Lt. Col. Robert L. Hite, the copilot of Aircraft No. 16, could not attend the ceremony due to health issues. "The Doolittle Raiders are the epitome of this innovation spirit of Airmanship. We owe these 80 men as well as their army and navy teammates a debt of gratitude," said Acting Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning. "Gentlemen, once again, thank you for what you did for your country. "Thank you for representing all those you served with and thank you for inspiring all of us everyday since then. Godspeed." Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Mark A. Welsh III followed Fanning. "As far as I'm concerned, this is the greatest professional honor I've ever had to speak here with this crowd at this event," Welsh said. "The very first book I read as a young guy was Thirty Seconds over Tokyo. It was given to me by my father, also a World War II vet, with the words that I should read it closely because this is this what America is all about. I've never forgotten those words. "The Doolittle raiders have been celebrated in book and in journals ... in magazines ... in various papers. They've had buildings named after them ... had streets named after them. People play them in movies. "They hate to hear this, but Jimmy Doolittle and his Raiders are truly lasting American heroes, but they are also Air Force heroes. They pioneered the concept of global strike ... the idea that no target on earth is safe from American air power. "In the last two weeks gentlemen, I've received emails from a number of today's bomber crew members. They asked me to assure you and your families this evening that your legacy is strong and safe with them. Welsh ended his speech by thanking the Raiders for their service to the nation. "Sir (Cole), for you and the brothers beside you ... your service was a gift to a nation at war ... the family and friends who stood proudly beside you since and to hundreds of thousands of American Airmen who continue to stand on your shoulders and hope to live to your example. Airpower ... the raiders showed us the way," he said. Fanning and Welsh presented the Doolittle Raiders with an Eagle as a token of their appreciation and gratitude. Cole was then asked to open the 1896 Cognac and give a toast. The year of the bottle of cognac is Doolittle's birth year. "Gentlemen, I propose a toast," Cole said. "To the gentlemen we lost on the mission and those who have passed away since. "Thank you very much and may they rest in peace," he ended. The 80 silver goblets in the ceremony were presented to the Raiders in 1959 by the city of Tucson, Ariz. The Raiders' names are engraved twice, the second upside-down. During the ceremony, white-gloved cadets poured cognac into the participants' goblets. Those of the deceased were turned upside-down. The Doolittle Raiders received a standing ovation from the crowd, but before closing the ceremony retired Col. Carroll "C.V" Glines, the historian for the Doolittle Raiders and a distinguished author, said, "This concludes the ceremony and also completes a mission." ============= http://www.doolittleraider.com/ =========== http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CVmoTeq2B4 Video of B-25 flyover at the reunion ================ http://photos.denverpost.com/2013/04/18/photos-doolittle-raider-71st-anniversary-reunion/#1 Pictures ============ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doolittle_Raid ================= https://www.facebook.com/DoolittleTokyoRaiders Children of the Doolittle Raiders Facebook page
