I was luck to be touring the airforce academy during one of the reunions in 1970's. Brave men all. |

I was a cadet at the AF Academy from 1986 to 1990 and remember well the display in Arnold Hall of the Doolittle Raiders. There was a little silver cup for each of the Raiders that would be turned upside down when a member passed away. When only two were left they would meet and share the bottle which was also behind a glass display with the cups. I always wondered about this and now I know. Thanks for posting the link. |
