Stitch Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Last Doolittle Raider Dick Cole passed away at 103 years old, IAW af.mil and other sources. Ref: https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1809760/lt-col-dick-cole-last-surviving-doolittle-raider-passes-away-at-age-103/ Thank you for your service sir. Not just the Raid, which was HUGE and I'm sure many thought was a suicide mission, but all your contributions to the war effort and beyond. 🥃 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuggyU2 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I would have like to attended the memorial at Randolph: https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/04/18/a-last-salute-to-a-raider-air-force-bids-farewell-to-lt-col-dick-cole/ But doing it on a Thursday, and not a Friday?? What moron came up with that idea. Yes, I understand the significance of the date. It's still a dumb idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
