THERE IS MORE THAN ONE VARIETY OF HEROISM…...
Paying a debt is one…...
Let WWII P-38 pilot Fred Hargesheimer’s story show you what that means.
The Japanese fighter caught the American pilot from behind, riddling his plane with machine-gun rounds. The left engine burst into flames. It was time to bail out.
He yanked on the release lever but the cockpit canopy only half-opened. He unbuckled his seat belt, rose to shake the canopy loose and was instantly sucked out.
Swinging beneath his opened parachute, he plunged toward a Pacific island jungle of thick, towering eucalyptus trees, of crocodile rivers and headhunters, into enemy territory, and into an unimagined future as a hero, “Suara Auru,“ Chief Warrior, to generations of islanders yet unborn.
