A-I got my name Hard to Get from my great grandfather’s air crew. He flew B17 bombers during world war 2. On one mission his plane was destroyed and went down. He kept the plane stable so the rest of the crew could escape the downed plane. Not all the men survived, but a few of the 10 man crew made it home and had families because of his sacrifice. I am proud of his story I grew up hearing about him by my grandfather who was the most influential person in my life. I love telling his story and I want to honor him and his memory every time I fight.
