Congressman Sam Johnson of Texas is an American hero. He served in the U.S. Air Force for twenty-nine years and was a highly-decorated fighter pilot.  It was during his 25th combat mission on April 16, 1966, over North Vietnam that his F-4 Phantom Air Force jet was shot down.  When he ejected from the aircraft, his right arm was broken in two places, his left shoulder dislocated, and his back broken.  He couldn’t use either arm. (Note: Johnson used to be right-handed but is left-handed now, because his right arm never totally healed -- his captors kept breaking it.)

Shortly after he was captured, he was placed before a firing squad.  As he faced them, Sam said. “Jesus, I love you.”… Then he heard a “click, click, click …” as one after another the guns aimed at him didn’t fire. You may think that this was a miracle, but as Paul Harvey used to say, “And now, the rest of the story!”
