Why i picked Ed Hommer

I really didn't know about Ed Hommer until Mrs. O'neal made us do this assignment. When i was looking for people i couldn't think of anyone that had over come obsticals that someone els had already had. When looking through the list Mrs. O'neal had for us, I read about Ed Hommer and read about how he lost his legs to an airplane crash and became an alcoholic afterwards. That is not what made me pick Ed though. I picked him because he over came these obsticals after getting distant with his daughter. After over coming alcoholism and getting prosthetic legs he got his wings to fly again for the American Airlines.
