•••63rd Reunion in CT April 14-17 2005•••
"If we get to Chungking, I’ll throw you fellas the biggest party you ever had!"-Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle to his Raiders
Join us in southeastern Connecticut as we celebrate Jimmy Doolittle’s Tokyo Raiders’ 63rd Reunion – a reunion steeped in historic military and maritime significance.
The Doolittle Raiders were the first US military retaliatory strike against Japan after Pearl Harbor, and they’ve celebrated that victory every year since. Their 2005 Reunion promises to be the most significant ever with events planned at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, the USS Nautilus, Mystic Seaport: Museum of America and the Sea, Historic Downtown Mystic and more.
Celebrate this historic event in free venues, receptions and dinners. There are also semi-private events for Gold Sponsors planed. During an intimate cruise up the Mystic River you will be greeted by U.S. Coast Guard Retired Rear Admiral Douglas Teeson at Mystic Seaport: Museum of America and the Sea, and mingle with guests at the PT-109 exhibit at Mystic Aquarium and Institute for Exploration, an A-10 Flyover in Historic Downtown Mystic and more.
