one of the best stories in the whole world

this is one of the most amazing stories, and it's all true

been a fan of hogan for many many years and still, even now, it's a real heart wrencher.


this is a story of faith, survival, will, determination, and triumph. it was the time when men were men and women were women (sorry if that's a cliche) and people were 'real' (unlike today) and had character and sense and manners and ethics, integrity.

...like the men who got on the plane in louisiana in the middle of the night to fly in a storm to operate on hogan's legs


them were the days.
