How is there a dislike? This man was easily the greatest man to ever come out of the University of Iowa. I don't see any flaws with the man, such a shame to dislike this.
Hero = Ensign Nile Ninnick, Jr., US Navy; a true scholar/athlete, gentleman, and 1939 Heisman Trophy winner. Naval aviator, F4-F Wildcat fighter off the USS Lexington. Emergency landing in the Gulf of Paria (between Venezuela and Trinidad) on 3 June 1943 in approximately 100 feet of water. Neither pilot nor aircraft were recovered.

Ditto to what rcbrammer wrote. America lost a true leader and his death shows that war can take our best.

Pretty unbelieveable that every coin toss of a big ten game has his face on the heads side of the coin.

Excellent, thank you for posting! I especially like the Heisman acceptance speech...so eloquent, it's really very pleasant to listen to.
