For those to whom much is given, Much is expected. His only limitations were those imposed upon him by others that were not his equal.
Many Deserved Condolences to the LTC. George Hardy Family.

He is our hero. "We too can fly higher than an eagle, because you are the wind beneath our wings".

Thank you for all you did to keep us safe during the war. I was born in 1957 but I believe with all my heart that I have my freedom because of everything that you did for the United States.

I met the Colonel at artist Frank Hopper's home in Sarasota. I was a Captain with TWA at the time. We swapped flying stories for an hour or so, with George educating me on what he and others were subjected to in World War II. My respect for him could not be higher than it is. I wish I could have spent more time with him. He was a consummate gentleman. George, my best to you on your final check ride. God speed.
