Bob Gray Day 2024

Dozens recently gathered at the Killeen Regional Airport (GRK) to recognize April 18 as Bob Gray Day. Mayor Debbie Nash-King presented an official proclamation to a descendant of Gray in honor of the annual occasion and @USAG commander, Col. Chad Foster, delivered remarks.
Captain Robert “Bob” Gray was a native of Killeen who was chosen by Lt. Col. Jimmie Doolittle to fly in the famous Doolittle Raid over Tokyo at the start of World War II on April 18, 1942. Gray’s legacy continues to be honored with Gray Street in Downtown Killeen, the Robert Gray Army Airfield on Fort Hood, and a historic display and bronze statue at the Killeen-Fort Hood regional Airport.
