when nearly every bone in his arms
and legs and many in the rest of his
body were broken. With the aid of
steel braces to hold his shattered
frame, he could sit upright. "You gave
me courage" he said suddenly when
Byrd shook hands with him. Without
hesitation, he got to his feet for the
first time since the war, and started
walking with the American airman.
