dedicated to my sons
This website is also dedicated to young people, the Doolittle Raiders were young people, hoping that in difficult times they find the hope and perseverance to persevere in all circumstances. May they take an example from Doolittle Raider David J. Thatcher from crew 07. This man was 20 years old when he saved the lives of his comrades in very dire circumstances.
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal David J. Thatcher (ASN: 19019573), United States Army Air Forces, for gallantry in action against the enemy while serving with the 1st Special Aviation Project (Doolittle Tokyo Raider Force), subsequent to the raid on Japan, 18 April 1942. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army Air Forces.
