Lt. Col. Chase Nielsen service held March 28

Willie Hunsaker, retired Navy SEABEE and member of the Veterans of Foreign War Post 1695 from Brigham City, Utah, mourns the loss of Lt. Colonel Chase J. Nielsen at his memorial service in Hyrum, Utah March 28. Colonel Nielsen, a long time member of VFW Post 1695 post, was more than a hero to the post's members. Colonel Nielsen was one of the few remaining members of the famed Doolittle Raiders. The members of the Doolittle Raiders reached national acclaim in 1942 after launching the first successful aerial bombing raid on Tokyo, Japan as retaliation for the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in December of 1941.
