My Take
Scott O'Grady's story gives me chills every time. Shot down over Bosnia in 1995 by a surface-to-air missile, he ejected into hostile territory and survived six days eating insects and plants before being rescued, a true tale more cinematic than most films. Brooklyn-born and trained at Embry–Riddle, he was a serious aviator, and what I admire most is the refusal to surrender under conditions that would break almost anyone. To me he is a living definition of what the will to endure actually looks like.
