2	2	WHEREAS, The United States was involved in a conflagration
3	3	that engulfed the world in which thousands had answered the call
4	4	to defend America, and 80 of those men called were later known as
5	5	the Doolittle Raiders; and
6	6	WHEREAS, The daring and heroic Doolittle Raid consisted of
7	7	16 land-based B-25 bombers which were launched from the pitching
8	8	deck of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier on a one-way mission to
9	9	bomb Tokyo without fighter cover and the crews uncertain if they
10	10	would survive; and
11	11	WHEREAS, Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle and his
12	12	raiders knew their mission was highly dangerous and risky, but
13	13	they proceeded undaunted, knowing what the raid would mean for
14	14	the morale of America; and
15	15	WHEREAS, The raid served as a demoralizing blow to the
16	16	Empire of Japan and served notice that America would strike back
17	17	after the horrific attack upon Pearl Harbor; it was widely
18	18	celebrated throughout America and would be the subject of
19	19	countless newspaper articles, newsreel films, books, movies, and
20	20	speeches; and
21	21	WHEREAS, Three of the raiders died when forced to ditch
22	22	their bomber, and three were executed by their Japanese captors;

24	24	were held as prisoners of war until the surrender of Japan over
25	25	three years later; now, therefore, be it
