AFA's Doolittle Leadership Center is thrilled to once again present the Doolittle Raiders Memorial Toast.

Continuing a decades-long Air Force tradition started by AFA's founding president Gen. Jimmy Doolittle and his fellow Raiders in 1945, Air Force and Space Force units and AFA members around the world will raise a glass to the 84th anniversary of the legendary Doolittle Raid and the Raiders' enduring warfighting spirit, bravery, and innovation.

We will be livestreaming the event right here on AFA.org and on AFA's YouTube channel, so that you or your organization can toast along with us from anywhere in the world. The ceremony will begin at 5:45 p.m. ET and last for 40-45 minutes.
