Ryan, I had the honor of meeting Cole and Thatcher, and it was amazing. Both of them were so very nice. I was also impressed when I met the band of Brothers as none of them thought of themselves as anything special.

I'm still in awe of what the Doolittle Raiders accomplished. And to think they did it all from Shangri-la!!!!!!!!

We should all be grateful for what the Raiders did, as well as all Veterans.
I was at the reunion last year and had the great pleasure of meeting the four Raiders. I have three of their autographs and pictures of all of them. It was a thrill to see and meet them.
Thankyou for your service Doolittle Raiders.
