Staff Sergeant David Thatcher is one of 4 living men who participated in WWII's Doolittle Raid on Japan in retaliation to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. While the raid itself caused little actual damage to Japan, it did succeed in its goal of raising American morale and showing that Japan was not immune to attack. Staff Sgt. Thatcher was an engineer and gunner on Aircraft #7.
He signed and returned the photo I sent him and also wrote me a short letter.
It took a total of 108 days.
