The remarkable Royce Williams —Medal of Honor recipient, Secret Soldier of the Korean War, and my hero - turns 101 today.
On November 18, 1952, Royce singlehandedly shot down four Soviet MiG-15s, likely damaged others, and defended the lives of his fellow shipmates on the fabled USS Oriskany. Every American should know this story of indomitable courage under fire.
Happy Birthday, Captain! Welcome to century two!
