he actually volunteered for the Canadian Air Force because America wasn't involved at first. The guy's back story is unbelievable. A true Hollywood script.

RE: A tribute to a deserving man.
Thanks for that, Mach.
I remember hearing something about him a long time ago, but I had forgotten the specifics.
It is kinda spooky, that while I was reading this "Buckeye Battle Cry" came up on my i-tunes as I was listening.

It's kids like this, the ones who struggle against huge disadvantages, who ultimately develop character and integrity. Good read, thanks Mach.
