the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo

obwnn: The TV network news this evening that was NOT the
       NBC Blue Network (AKA ABC) nor the NBC Red Network
       featured some clips marking the anniversary.

       My TiVo hiccuped so I don't know if WNN had it
       last night. Don't know about NBC or ABC evening news.
