Featured review
"Show me a hero, and I'll prove he is a bum!"
One of the few man I this world that I would have the honor to meet, would have been "Gramps" Boyington. In a time of need, pain and horror...he took the ways that he knew and fought a war which we all didn't want to be in. In the time to come after his rise to fame and down fall...his life teaches us this...sometimes the rules must be bent to do the right thing. I wish that I could have met the man before his death...I'm glad the History channel has the history still going on the Black Sheep and I love the comments from his fellow flyers and from Mr. Conrad himself about the man. May the Black Sheep always fly in our minds, hearts, and prays. Question: Mr. Conrad...did you ever fly the big blue bird???
