In The Presence of Greatness!!

There was once a story of a Pilot who had flown in Many World War II Combat Missions and was shot down three times and already an older pilot at war's end, he retired 20, or so years later after serving in many roles. A younger counterpart was playing a joke on him one day and called him and said there had been a peculiar illness befall a group of pilots and they had a very intense mission they had been training for ... and unfortunately, they were going to be forced to ask him to fly this mission with some of his older counterparts and they would have to train night and day for weeks and they might not survive if they flew it. The younger man was shocked at what came from the other end of the phone...."(With No Hesitation In His Voice) He said, I WILL BE THERE IN THE MORNING" about that time The Younger Prankster felt the tears start to run down his face and realized, he was in the presence of TRUE GREATNESS.....the retired pilot was "73".....finally, the truth was broken, rather apprehensively but the day was never forgotten and now you also know....."the rest of the story"!
