Rest In Peace, you have earned it! I have probably read his book three times, maybe more. An excellent read. And for those who don't know, RV was Eugene Sledge's squad leader on Peleliu & Okinawa.

Very sad news. I read that the last Doolittle Raider passed yesterday. These guys are national treasures.
