General Doolittle
I had the honor of meeting General Doolittle when I was in high school. His Granddaughter, Jody Doolittle's Father was a colonel stationed at Castle AFB & she was in my high school class.
Years later, on Armed Forces day, the USS Missouri paid a visit to Monterey Bay and the surviving members of Doolittle's raid flew over the Presidio (DLI) and over the ship. General Doolittle had a place of honor near the Army Museum and I got to shake his hand.
RIP Colonel.
