I had the chance to meet the Evans family at Al's funeral. He was buried at Arlington National cemetery with full military honors which I was very happy to see. The US Air Force did a missing man formation fly over above the cemetery. My father would refer to "Al" as his hero. I guess you could say that would make him a "Hero's Hero".
