The Man At the Airport

      There is a statue in an airport without a plaque, but even without a plaque, it has a huge message.  It is for a World War 1 Veteran who saved hundreds of lives. 
      His story was that he was waiting for his plane when enemy soldiers burst out of nowhere, shooting from all angles.  He dove under a nearby bench and loaded his gun.  Innocent people were everywhere.  Trying to find an escape route, he screamed, "BOMB!"
     Everyone ducked except the enemy, who ran around looking for the bomb, even though there was none. 
  Just then, the plane came, and the innocent people sprinted up the ramp, leaving the enemy clueless.
The man died at the airport because he was the last to board the plane and got shot  running up the ramp.  He could not read, so when the grateful people made a statue in his honor, they did not write anything.
