I'm usually more punctual on historical posts...this one is a little late, but no less important. This past Monday April 18th, marked the 80th anniversary of the historic Doolittle Raid on Japan.
America was in desperate need of a boost in morale following Pearl Harbor and the countless other defeats across the Pacific. This daring raid involved launching B25 bombers off the deck of an aircraft carrier...a feat never before performed. While the damage to Tokyo wasn't great, the impact to America and the world was...this was just the boost that was needed.
Please remember these brave men and all the others who served to protect us so many years ago.
Lest we forget...
