Groton -- After spending the weekend on cloud nine in the presence of true American heroes at the Doolittle Raiders Reunion, Pyramid Marketing, Design & Technology President, Thor Torgersen, is still flying high.

Torgersen, the artist responsible for creating the limited addition paintings that so beautifully depicted the Tokyo raid, is honored to have his poetry in art accepted to the Raiders' Collection at the Doolittle Museum, located in Dallas, Texas.

Torgersen's poem, “Speak Often of Our Heroes”, causes readers to take pause and reflect on the incredible sacrifices made by the men, who without hesitation, stepped forward and flew into what at the time was thought to surely be a suicide mission. Surrounding the poem, Torgersen included the names of all 80 Raiders, creating a memorial and border around the poem.

Colonel C. V. Glines, historian and curator of the Doolittle Museum, enthusiastically accepted Torgersen’s donation, calling it “the largest and only piece of art of its kind in the collection.”

“We are very pleased to add this wonderful tribute to our Raiders to the collection,” Glines said.

For Torgersen, paying homage to these men through his art has been a privilege. “The painting is a token of my gratitude to the men who served their country so valiantly and I am honored to know that it will forever be a part of such an historic collection.”
