I've just seen a couple of Google/Yahoo Alerts on the death of Edward Saylor, one of the four remaining World War II Doolittle Raiders.
The Chicago Tribune barely had a paragraph on his death.
Come on, Mr. Saylor was one of the reasons the United States became such a great country!!
His brave deed gave hope to the country when there was very little.
Should Have Been a Much Bigger Deal. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
