We are saddened to hear of the passing of the last surviving Doolittle Raider, Colonel Richard Cole at 103. Hear COL Cole's incredible story of bravery and heroism in this interview with Gary Sinise at the The National WWII Museum. #MemDayPBS

Col. Cole was a guest at one of the Texas Toy Soldier shows 4 years ago ! I was able to drink a beer with him inside the Historic Bar
at the Menger Hotel. I clearly remember asking him what he ate to stay so active at 98 Y/O. His reply was "I eat like a horse" any thing I like !
