Indeed. My dad was a hero. He was a marine Torpedo bomber pilot during WWII and then a helicopter pilot for a MASH unit during the Korean conflict. He was shot down a few times, that took a toll on him physically as well as mentally. He died from a piece of shrapnel that was left near his heart eight years after he left the Corp.
His ship, the Yorktown, was sunk while he was in the air attacking a Japanese Carrier.
He opened my mother's concentration camp in Tianjin. They were married ten days later.
He was one of the first pilots to land on the New Yorktown.
He rescued over a 100 grunts in Korea.
Above all, he taught me that kindness and sacrifice are the ultimate show of strength.​
