Re: Doolittle Raid Pilot Dies

Thanks for the heads up, First Sgt. Incidentally, I was watching the film "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" the other night and I thought to myself what a group of inspirational heroes these 'Doolittle Raiders' were and always have! May you Rest In Peace Colonel Sims and thank you so much for your service.

You are correct, of course. I should have worded it differently - perhaps something to the effect that we have lost a courageous, valiant aviator - may he rest in peace.
