An American Hero passes:

Read this in the obit on the passing of Col. Kenneth Reusser , what struck me was how different his story totally seemed almost completely out of sync with the stories we had been reading over the past few days about Farach Fawcet, Micheal Jackson, and Alexis Arguello. One little bit really snagged me though something I didn't know pure physics would allow and it really drove home what makes an American Hero:

“In 1945, while based in Okinawa, he stripped down his F4U-4 Corsair fighter and intercepted a Japanese observation plane at a high altitude. When his guns froze, he flew his fighter into the observation plane, hacking off its tail with his propeller."
