Amazing story. Nooe has never felt sorry for himself; in fact, he has succeeded where many with no handicap have failed.

This man fits my definition of "Hero".

Thank you, Dick Nooe, for your service and sacrifice.

He is a true hero by definition. It is sad that the term
"Hero" is tossed around so loosely these days.

What an inspiring story!God bless our vets.

The local rags should run more of these human-interest stories of the non-self-pity type. Veterans' stories are great for that.

Such are the people who built America.

It's guys like him that make our country so great. Thank you Mr. Nooe, for your service and sacrifice!

[Fawnn]

Thanks for the ping. A truly motivational story. (It's my belief that while in life we may encounter disabling events, they're most often only disabilities if we allow them to be! This story validates that belief! A truly inspirational story, too.)

"Hero" is tossed around so loosely these days.

Couldn't agree more. All part of the dumbing down process.

Thank you for the post and the ping. Peter Adams and the WI Post-Crescent prove there's hope for the journalism profession. Thank you for seeing and sharing Mr. Nooe's story.

ENo end of gratitude for Korean war veterans
