I had the honor of shaking one of the Raiders hand at SAC about five years ago.
He and I had been on a flight from LAS to SAC. I didn't know that he was one of the Raiders until we had deplaned. There was an Air Force captain standing at the bottom of the concours holding a sign with this gentlemans name and Dolittle Raiders written on it. I figured they must be having a Dolittle reunion, (it was about this time of year). For the life of me I can't remember his name,(sad I know)
When I saw the sign I just new that I had to thank him for what he had done and shake his hand. Not much I know, but I was glad that he knew that the younger generations knew what he and the men like him had done and that they would not be forgotten.
