Raider goblet ceremony
Silver goblets are positioned for a Doolittle Raider toast honoring fallen Raiders April 18 in San Antonio, commemorating the 65th Anniversary of the Doolittle Tokyo Raid in 1942. There are 80 goblets representing all 80 Doolittle Raiders. When a Raider dies, his goblet is turned over in the case. 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)
