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.”
