    Air Force Academy cadets Robert Breen and Gabriel Perez lay a wreath next to the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders memorial at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio as part of a 75th anniversary ceremony, April 18, 2017. The memorial attended by Lt. Col. (Ret.) Richard E. Cole, the sole surviving member of the Doolittle Raiders, honored the 80 volunteers who flew 16 B-25 bombers to strike the Japanese mainland from the USS Hornet aircraft carrier, turning the tide of World War II.
