My New Hero

I thought you would all like to know the name of my new hero. It's Jake Yockers. He is our hero pilot that refused to leave Haiti without our little ones. I believe the phrase "you can put those kids on the plane or a gun to my head, but those are the only two ways I'm leaving this airport" were used.

Thank you Jake for taking a stand. Thank you for making sure my baby boy was on that plane before you left. Thank you for speaking for those who couldn't speak for themselves! Thank you, thank you!

Hmm. Now the next question is "Is Jake single?" :)

If the answer is yes, wouldn't THAT be a really happy ending?
