04/25/2015: B-25 Lands at Wright Patterson AFB to Deliver Congressional Medal to Surviving Doolittle Raiders

Delivering the Doolittle Raider’s Congressional Gold Medal is one of the highlights of my flying career. Too many people today do not understand how these 80 volunteers on 16 B-25’s changed the course of the War in the Pacific.

 

Till I draw my last breath, I have dedicated myself to keeping this story in front of the American public and reminding them of the “Mission before Self” demonstrated by these great American Heroes.
