The Glenn Vet Honor Guard held a ceremony to commemorate Doolittle Raider Days, honoring a pivotal World War II training mission. The event, proclaimed by the Glenn County Board of Supervisors, was held at the Willows Veterans Memorial Hall.
A historical presentation detailed the five B-25 bombers that practiced takeoffs at Willows airport in 1942 before heading to Alameda. The ceremony included a reading of crew members' names, a bell tolling for the fallen, and a wreath-laying.
The public is invited to participate in future observances of this local historical legacy.
