Medal of Honor recipient Col. Leo K. Thorsness
Colonel Thorsness passed away yesterday. His Wiki page has quite a bit of info on the mission where he earned the MoH, the mission he was shot down on and his time as a POW.
Rest in Peace, Colonel. https://www.stripes.com/news/veteran...5#.WQpLhca1vIU |

I never got to see him in person, but I have watched several documentaries that he took part in. He came across as a very humble Warrior in every one of them.
Rest In Peace, Colonel...you earned it! |

He had to be a hell of a pilot in order to outduel a Mig-17 with a F-105. Huge difference in manueverability. RIP Colonel.

Met him on a flight from TX back to AL in 2013. Sat next to him on the flight. I noticed a very small MOH insignia on his carry on. Asked him about it. Led to an awesome conversation. Bought a copy of his book from him and he autographed it for me. A real gentleman and humble beyond all belief.
RIP Col. |
