Doolittle Raider Passes at 94..

[WILMASBOYL78]

Medal of Honor recipient, Lt. Col. Ed Saylor, one of only 4 surviving veterans of the Doolittle raid just passed away. World War 2 vets are disappearing very quickly...if you know of one, please spend sometime with them...and take your kids and grandkids with you, too.

And our Lord called another Warrior to his side ...

Amen to that also thank God for Lt. Saylor, his brave Doolittle brothers and all who fight for freedom then and now!
As Wilma noted, we're quickly losing our WW2 veterans of late...sadly, much of the freedoms they provided for our generation seems to be disappearing right along with them

Pete, you are so right about our freedoms dying with them...perhaps it's best they got to live in a different time.
