In the chaos of World War II, one young airman made a choice that defied human limits. Blinded, engulfed in flames, and moments from death, Master Sgt. Henry “Red” Erwin picked up a burning white phosphorus canister with his bare hands—knowing if he dropped it, his entire crew would perish.
Step by step, through unimaginable pain, he carried it through the B-29 and hurled it out the window, saving every soul on board. He collapsed in flames, but his sacrifice lit a legacy of courage that would earn him the Medal of Honor—and the eternal respect of a grateful nation. 🇺🇸🔥
