"It's a piece of history, it's the last time," said Bruce Sink, 62, of Kettering, Ohio, who was browsing books about the Raiders at the museum gift shop. "These were pretty brave guys."

Twelve-year-old Joseph John Castellano's grandparents brought him from their Dayton home.

"This was Tokyo. The odds of their survival were 1 in a million," the boy said. "I just felt like I owe them a few short hours of the thousands of hours I will be on Earth."

Only four of the 80 Raiders are still living, and one was unable to attend Saturday because of health issues.
