Here was a man who was a real hero but his type goes mostly unnoticed by the general public. The media puts forth celebrity types and Political types who are not good role models or good representatives for our country and way of life while men like Mattingly go mostly with out mention until they die. He is who we should be promoting to our young people in schools and in the media.
