Doolittle legacy honored, RPA aviators continue to deliver justice

by Master Sgt. Nadine Y. Barclay

Creech AFB, Nev.

   ARLINGTON, Va. â€”There were moments, which through their
pure magnitude galvanized the nation, inspiring those to act, forever
altering the fabric of our lives.

   In the weeks following the attack on Pearl Harbor, one group of men
would attempt the impossible and forever shift the course of history.

   Today, these men, known simply as the Doolittle Raiders, continue
to inspire Airmen to defend the nation, hunting down her enemies
and delivering justice, anytime, anywhere.

   Airmen assigned to the 432nd Wing/432nd Air Expeditionary
Wing at Creech Air Force Base, Nev., received the Air Force Historical
Foundationâ€™s 2017, James H. â€œJimmyâ€ Doolittle Award, Jan. 30, 2018,
at the U.S. Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Va., for their contribu-
tions to aviation history.

   â€œThe 432nd Wing has a heritage of innovation since its initial ac-
tivation in 1943,â€ said retired Lt. Gen. Christopher Miller, president
and chairman of AFHF. â€œIt has been at the leading edge of operations
for our nation providing both global vigilance and global power to
the joint team preserving the lives of American service members on
the ground and preventing damage to our nation and our citizens.â€

   The Doolittle award was established to recognize units who have
displayed bravery, determination, discipline, esprit de corps, and
