Raider goblet ceremony
Retired Lt. Col. Dick Cole turns over the goblet of Lt. Col. Chase Nielson, a Doolittle Raider who died March 23, during a goblet ceremony in San Antonio April 18. When a Raider dies, his goblet is turned upside down. When there are but two Raiders left, the two men will open a bottle of cognac, vintage 1896 (the year Doolittle was born) and give a final toast to their departed comrades. Fourteen of the 80 Raiders are still alive. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Brian Ferguson)
