There are people in this world who, no matter what you’re going through, have had it worse. Allen Brady is one of them.

Brady described the harrowing experience of being shot down in the 1977 book We Came Home saying “One minute I was confidently roaring through the sky, and the next, I was standing in a rice paddy wondering, ‘why me?'”
