Capone wasn't famous >>>>for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in >>>>everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder. >>>> >>>>Capone had a lawyer nicknamed 'Easy Eddie.' He was Capone's lawyer for a >>>>good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal >>>>maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time. >>>> >>>>To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money >>>>big, but Eddie got special dividends, as well. For instance, he and his >>>>family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the >>>>conveniences of the day. >>>> The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block. >>>> >>>>Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration >>>>to the atrocity that went on around him. >>>> >>>>Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly. >>>>Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education. >>>>Nothing was withheld. Price was no object. >>>> >>>>And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to >>>>teach him right from wrong. >>>> >>>>Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was. >>>> >>>>Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn't >>>>give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good example. >>>> >>>>One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. He wanted to rectify >>>>wrongs he had done. He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the >>>>truth about Al 'Scarface' Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer >>>>his son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify >>>>against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great. So, he testified. >>>> >>>>Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely >>>>Chicago Street. But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he >>>>had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay. Police removed from >>>>his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped >>>>from a magazine. >>>>The poem read: >>>> >>>>'The clock of life is wound but once, >>>> >>>>and no man has the power >>>> >>>>to tell just when the hands will stop, >>>> >>>>at late or early hour. >>>> >>>>Now is the only time you own. >>>> >>>>Live, love, toil with a will. >>>> >>>>Place no faith in time. >>>> >>>>For the clock may soon be still.' >>>> >>>> >>>>STORY NUMBER TWO >>>> >>>>World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander >>>>Butch O'Hare USN. >>>> >>>>He was a naval fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in >>>>the South Pacific. >>>> >>>>One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, >>>>he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had forgotten to top >>>>off his fuel tank. >>>> >>>>He would not have enough fuel to complete his >>>> mission and get back to his ship. His flight leader told him to return to >>>> the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to >>>> the fleet. >>>> >>>>As he was returning to the mother ship, he saw something that turned his >>>>blood cold; a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its way toward the >>>>American fleet. >>>> >>>>The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but >>>>defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time to >>>>save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. >>>>There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet. >>>> >>>>Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of >>>>Japanese planes. Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in, >>>>attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out >>>>of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until >>>>all his >>>> ammunition was finally spent. >>>> >>>>Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes, trying to clip >>>>a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible, >>>>rendering them unfit to fly. >>>> >>>>Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction. >>>>Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the >>>>carrier. Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his >>>>return. The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It >>>>showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had, >>>>in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft. >>>> >>>>This took place on February 20, 1942, and for that action Butch became the >>>>Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the >>>>Congressional Medal of Honor. >>>> >>>>A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age >>>> of 29. His home town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to >>>> fade, and today, O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the >>>> courage of this great man. >>>> >>>>So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International, give some >>>>thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and his Medal of >>>>Honor. It's located between Terminals 1 and 2. >>>> >>>> >>>>SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER? >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>> >>>>Butch O'Hare was 'Easy Eddie's' son. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>> >>> > ________________________________ Akses email lebih cepat.
