A Country's~ Heroism~Honor~Pride.....Even Though It Is An American That Stands

At center stage of this heroic story Americans do not or will not know of his heroic acts. Did you know that the Module that was used in the Chile rescue was designed by a NASA Engineer? The Drill that was used was made by Schramm Inc. from Pennsylvania. The Drill Bits themselves were made by Center Rock in Berlin, Pennsylvania. But the real story is about a man named Jeff Hart and his team from Denver, Colorado. They had been drilling wells for the military in Afghanistan and we loaned out to Chile when the mine exploded. When Jeff got there, he said,"You have to feel through your feet what the drill is doing; its a vibration you get so that you know what's happening." So, he spent the next thirty three days on his feet drilling so that there would be no mistakes. He said that he was used to drilling for water and oil, but this was the hardest since there could be no mistakes as there were lives at stake. When bits, broke it took days to get new ones and the wait was horrible. There were so many different types of materials do drill through that it was tough going. When they got the miners out, the families and friends crowed around Jeff Hart hugging and taking pictures. He was their hero. He is the hero of Chile, a most dignified country. School children will learn about him in school. They will be taught of his skill and heroism. But here because of what he does as and oil driller, Jeff Hart is not a popular person. How sad that a hero cannot be a hero in his own country...I weep for my country.... Shalom~Adoniah
