Did you know that Butch O’Hare, for whom Chicago’s O’Hare airport is named, became America’s first ace and a Medal of Honor recipient when he single-handedly attacked nine Japanese bombers about to attack the USS Saratoga, downing five of them? Sadly, O’Hare lost his life in a combat mission in the following November. Honor and remember Butch O’Hare!
February 20 Butch O’Hare
