I wrote this on 5/26/02 on the old Club VMag site.
I know this has nothing to do about autos, or engines, or horsepower...
I came across this story and it stopped me dead: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/comment/lopresti/2002-05-24-lopresti.htm
It's not everyday that i find a real, voluntary hero, but this guy reminds me of how many 'real heros' it has taken to make this wonderful country.
This man died yesterday as an Army Ranger serving in Afghanistan against the real enemy threat to America. (not to mean disrespect to the brave men who serve us in Iraq. Those courageous and great American guys have been failed by miserable leadership from the top, and in a democracy, that's OUR fault).
Please don't make this a debate on the Iraq war, but keep it a salute to a REAL American Hero.
