I was at the US Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force base in Dayton, OH last week. In a display case are 80 goblets, one for each of those that flew in the Dolittle raid. They are used in an annual commemorative toast. The goblets for those who have passed are turned upside down. I sadly counted only four that are still upright.

RM- Thank You for posting this.

I know I would have "lost it" seeing that in person.

We are nearing the end of the Greatest Generation sad to say that this Country and the World were saved from the nazi's by Our Fathers/Mothers and Grandparents only for History to start repeating itself because 1/2 of this Country are F'ing lazy scum that live in a fantasy world and We have let politicians run loose and take Us where We are.

My Father and both Uncle's "suddenly" were all 18 (born 1 year apart from each other) when the US got into the War.

Grandma worked in the local bomb factory after signing off for all 3 Son's to enlist.

The whole Country just did what had to be done. Nobody complained, You did Your part.

I look at what we have now and just want to scream!

While you were there did you happen to notice that the bottle of 1896 (Doolittles birth year) cognac had been opened? Meaning that the “final toast” of living Raid survivors has been drunk?
