Marker text: DOOLITTLE RAIDERS

Symbolizing the strength and endurance of South Carolinians, these Palmetto trees commemorate the Columbia trained Doolittle Raiders whose courage and patriotism in the early hours of World War II rallied a beleagured nation to save Western civilization and all mankind from a descent into another Dark Age.

Presented to the City of Columbia by Columbia Green and John and Mary Rainey On The Occasions of the Raiders' 50th (1992) and 60th (2002) Reunions.
