two stories

Story # 1 Our first story is about a lawyer named Eddie. Eddie worked for a man Al Capone who was involved in a crime syndicate and making huge profits from his illegal business. He was called Easy Eddie, because with Eddie’s skill in legal maneuvering, he kept his boss out of jail even if everybody knew he was guilty. Eddie was well-paid so Eddie’s family enjoyed a lot of luxuries. They lived a mansion and Eddie was willing to give anything to and for his son – whom he loved dearly. The price was not an issue. But there was something Eddie knew he could not leave his son – and that was a good name. He wanted his son to grow into a better man than he was. He didn’t want his son to grow up like him. So one day, he decided to clean up his acts. He knew it would be risky, but he testified against his boss, Al Capone. Less than a year later, Eddie was riddled with bullets. But as he lay there facing death – he knew that he had left his son the legacy of courage. ---- Story number two. The United States honors many World War 2 heroes. One of them was a man named Butch O’Hare. O’Hare was tasked on a mission. But while he was flying, he noticed that his tank was not full and his fuel would not be enough if he didn’t fly back to their mother ship right away. So he turned back to return to the ship. On his way, he saw a squadron of Japanese of planes about to attack their fleet. O’Hare had a dilemma. He knew there wasn’t enough time to warn the American fleet. Even though his personal safety was at risk, and his fuel may not be enough, he attacked the planes in the squadron. He successfully diverted the Japanese planes and prevented the attack. O’Hare was later given the honors due a brave fighter like him. In fact, an airport was named after him – the O’Hare Airport in Chicago. So, what is the relationship between the two stories? O’Hare is the son of Easy Eddie. Eddie had passed on a legacy of courage to O’Hare that eventually made him a hero.
