I am glad he had a witness. Making others believe can be painful. His 2 part explanation is classic. I must save it in my memories. He and his wingman were amazing and I for one am very thankful. Thank you Tara for this gem.
7 kills in one mission and 3 for his wingman. 2 against 13. WOW!
William Shomo was awarded his MOH for an impossible airshow. I think that his comments about having been a MOH recipient were exactly correct. Most MOH recipients are awarded posthumously and to survive the mission for which the Medal was awarded meant that he was representing a much larger group of people than himself.
"No greater gift can a man bestow upon his fellow man than to give up his own life".
God bless each of our MOH heroes and God bless every person who serves or has served this great nation.
Thank you Tara for another MOH story on a Thursday.
What a story! I know he and his wingman were busy that day! Attacking and defending so continually, destroying the enemy's chance to produce more devastation. Thanks again, Tara!
An incredible feat of flying by both men!!! As always a humble MOH recipient!!!! 7 kills in one day is unheard of!! 3 was a feat in itself! Hats off to both brave men! Thanks Tara!!!
Such great and exciting stories . . . and all true. So many heroes put others before self, and non who call themselves a hero. I’m sure the enemy pilots thought these two American planes were crazy, right up until they were dropping from the sky. A lot of these stories would make great movies - because they are true !
With those odds it’s surprising William Shomo decided to attack. It’s also sort of surprising that his wingman followed his lead. He must have trusted and had great respect for Shomo. Another humble hero.
