During the early 40s of last century, the evil Japanese fascists burned all over East Asia and into the Western Pacific, especially in the broad and vast land of China. In response to Japan’s vicious surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war to the Empire of Japan, plunging the U.S. fully into World War II. Sixteen U.S. Air Force B-25 bombers with eighty brave airmen accomplished their secret one-way mission of bombing Tokyo. It has been known as the Doolittle Raid or Tokyo Raid, which altered the direction of the whole Pacific war. Following the Raid, most crewmen finally achieved safety in the crash-landing in eastern coastal provinces in mainland China, with the help of local Chinese soldiers and civilians. The Chinese people devoted their lives in saving those heroes of the United States. With a crazy and devilish revenge, the Japanese Imperial Army began the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign, which killed an estimated two hundred and fifty thousand Chinese soldiers and civilians. Germ warfare was used and other atrocities were committed. Sixty four American heroes finally returned to their homeland during and after the War. Although the Doolittle Raiders hold an annual reunion in the U.S. almost every year since the late 1940s, their magnificent epic stories have been buried in the long river of history in China, especially during the Cold War years. After the icebreaking between the two east-west coasts of the Pacific Ocean, China and the United States became friends. Some of the Doolittle Raiders and their families have crossed the Ocean and the country to find and to honor those great Chinese people and their families, who once saved their lives. They also invited the representatives of those Chinese heroes to visit the Capitol Hill of the U.S. to receive their high honors from the President.
