A HERO, what makes a Hero and why do many die in their act of heroism?

Jesse LeRoy Brown was the first African American who gained the qualification to be the first pilot who flew missions in the Korean War for his country, the USA.
In Lettrology, the word Hero directly relates to a Leader who takes the initiative without seeking permission from others to engage in a humanitarian deed for the benefit of others often in dire need of life-threatening help.
He endured resistance and sheer hell to gain his position as a fighter pilot all the time being the target of severe difficult training when compared to his fellow trainees. Why? Racism.
Yet Jesse did more in his efforts than any of his fellow squad, and against direct orders not to do certain acts to, did them anyway and caused major support for the war effort at the time in taking out a supply bridge that was assisting enemy transport in their war effort.
On his final mission, he and his team were involved in supporting troops who were being massacred, having no means of survival from a ground assault by the enemy. Air support was granted, enemy troops withdrew, and a single bullet from the ground hit his oil line and his fate was sealed.
He ditched his arsenal, the engine seized, and he glided his plane into a tiny snow clearing in significant mountain range terrain. He did not die on impact; he died as his legs were trapped in the collapsed cockpit. His team leader, in brave support, ditched his own plane to crash-land in the same place and tried to save his friend.

And amazing film was produced as Jesse was a hero that many did not want him to be recognised for.
The science of Lettrology provided the evidence of the past and future this man experienced. It worked then and it works now. Jessie crashed and strange things happened when search teams went to the crash site. To date no evidence of his body or clothing have ever been found. Animals don't eat clothing, and it was a frozen isolated place well away from any military activity?
Three Codes (11, 13, 16) are always present when tragedy happens to people. If Lettrology can see the past, Lettrology can foretell of the future, and it does. Anyone can have access to this life changing tool to see their future and make sense of their life.
Jesse died with his personal Coded Numbers being in an 11 year, in a 13 month and on a 13 day. He was only 24, leaving behind his wife and daughter. The word HERO in Lettrology sums to number 1, and 1 is to lead and Jesse did just that. This earned his respect by his fellow fighter pilots, and years later, by America where he was officially called a Hero.
Fact Check: The planes were Navy aircraft aboard the USS Leyte Aircraft Carrier and the word Fly and Jesse LeRoy Brown, sum to the number 7. From a little boy, he always wanted to fly and still left this life when the tidal numbers 11, 13, and 16 were all engaged. The 16 came from the letters of his name but due to the complexity of how this is so, takes a bit of explaining.
Thanks for reading, and if you have an interesting topic or question that may make a great story, write to Peter, he loves getting your comments.
