The final toast...

The final toast...  Yesterday three of the four surviving members of Doolittle's Raid gathered in Dayton, Ohio for a toast – to each other, and to their colleagues who have now died.  The four are all in their 90s and frail, so they've collectively decided to make this year's meeting the last of their annual get-togethers.

Thinking about Doolittle's Raid always sends shivers through me.  The courage of these men is almost frightening to contemplate.  I salute them...
