Honoring America’s heroes
Looking for inspiration? Yesterday, I found it at a special Veteran’s Day gathering of surviving WWII Doolittle Raiders in Washington, D.C. Five of the famed Raiders participated in a ceremony honoring members of the USS Hornet Crew. We interviewed them about the daring raid, their memories of Jimmy Doolittle, and their thoughts on America at war today.
Lt Col Dick Cole, Gen. Jimmy Doolittle’s co-pilot on Plane 1 of the Doolittle Raid crew, answered succinctly:
“We’re at war. We ought to get on a war footing and get the job done.”

Help us make our fund-raising goal to provide voice-controlled laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at home or in military hospitals. The team is lagging behind. This is the weekend to pitch in. If you’ve already given, reach in and give a little more. If you haven’t given, what are you waiting for!?
