The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

The Last Doolittle Raider Dies, Richard Cole, 103
It was kind of strange that just now I got to thinking about these famous American heroes who I used to write about often in April, it being the anniversary of the April 18, 1942, Raid.
I was wondering if any were still alive. I started looking on the internet and found that the last one, Richard Cole, had died yesterday at age 103.
I'll be writing more about him this week
