Any idea whether the remaining Doolittle Raiders will be appearing at Oshkosh this year? They were not invited last year. Col. Hite is too ill to travel, and Sgt. Thatcher was using a wheelchair sometimes at the Final Toast last fall, which he was not using at the final public reunion in April 2013. Col. Cole and Col. Saylor appear to be the most able to travel.
Who knows how much longer these true heroes will be around? If they have not been invited yet, I would like to suggest that they be invited asap.
Thanks.
