those days, there was an interesting relationship between sailers in the navy and marines. so these navy people had big placards saying, welcome, marines, when the marines came in afterwards. they said the marines were not that.with but after the war was over, the do, still had a job to because there were so many doctors,urses, soldiers, sailors, marines, all the world. and they were in the business now of transporting. they transported them in waves like seattle and pedro, the, san harbor in los angeles. after the war was over, the ship brought to the james river in virginia and was put into there, until the company that it was originally built for, the american export it.s, claimed and then it and three others of the ship were taken up to the northeast and they were refinished. all their armaments removed. the ship itself stayed exactly configuration that it originally had. kindhe superstructure that of -- the kind of deck structure changed remarkably. was put in the civiliancture now were kinds of spaces, a ballroom, for tea room. a different skyscraper look. ,n 1949, th

that is when lieutenant colonel sailer, the crew's engineer, said we're in this mission to stay.raft and rebuilt it and put it back on the plane. and when they asked him, do you think it's going to work? he said a line we can all relate to, well, there aren't any parts left over. the engine worked. the mission was successful. unfortunately edward saylor couldn't be here today. he passed away just a few months ago. but before he died they asked him how it felt to be a hero and he said, there is no way you can call yourself a hero. that is for someone else to say. well today the congress of the united states of america is calling edward saylor and the other 79 other doolittle raiders just that -- heroes. and on behalf of the free loving people in the united states and everywhere, we say thank you for your service and a job well done.
