Nice story about a great man, SGT Jim Z.. You have a knack for finding these nuggets of gold.
Colonel Hess was a special person. Alongside the great things he did, his humility is what impresses me. His son says in the article: "He was a humble man who loved children and never cashed in on his notoriety," That's the measure of a true hero in my book.
