Excellence in all we do... Today, Ellsworth Airmen partook in a commemoration of the 77th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid. We pay homage to the Raiders who conducted the first air operation, using B-25 bombers like the one in this clip, on mainland Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor. We remember and honor their legacy. #Raiders

Today, the men and women of Ellsworth Air Force Base mourn the loss of retired Lt. Col. Dick Cole, the last surviving member of the Doolittle Raiders. The 1942 Doolittle Raid was the United States’ first counterattack on Japan after Pearl Harbor. Eighty Airmen in B-25B bombers launched from an aircraft carrier approximately 650 miles east of Japan to strike Tokyo. This historic mission boosted morale across the nation and signaled to the Japanese that the U.S. would defend itself at all costs. The 34th Bomb Squadron, 37th Bomb Squadron and 89th Attack Squadron descend from the original squadrons that participated in the Doolittle Raid. On April 18, all with base access is invited to honor the heritage of these squadrons and the legacy set by those who fought in the Doolittle Raid. B-25B statics are available for viewing next to the PRIDE Hangar starting at noon with the commemoration beginning at 3:30 p.m. in the hangar.

There's a potential for wintry weather the next two days! Stay tuned to Ellsworth AFB social media for closure information and call 605-385-ROAD for the current road condition!
