UE's own Kwame James in Sports Illustrated

[redbirdtim]

Kwame James, a true Valley hero. I would recommend everyone to pick up a copy of SI and read about him helping save the lives of his 196 fellow passengers (and his own) by subduing Richard Reid, also known as the shoe bomber.

A good article on his experience and how it affects him still today:

You know Joey, the thing is that there are people like Kwame in each of us, it's just that he had the courage to let him out.

God bless Kwame and his family. If ever anyone deserved a "run", he does.


I never knew he was a part of that, thanks for the link. I am sure he is tired of the publicity, but I sure hope UE does something for him.
