The Wednesday Hero posts are on temporary hiatus until further notice. I'm having issues with my computer that's preventing me from doing them at this time. I apologize and will try to get them back as quickly as possible.

Capt. Joseph McConnell
32 years old from Dover, New Hampshire
39th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, 51st Fighter-Interceptor Wing
January 30 1922 – August 25 1954
At the age of 28, Joseph McConnell was considered too old be a jet pilot in Korea, but he wouldn't let that stop him. He persisted and was assigned to 39th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, 51st Fighter-Interceptor Wing in 1952 and was credited with shooting down 16 enemy planes in a four month period and became America's first Triple Jet Ace when he shot down three of those planes in a single day.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom. For that I am proud to call them Hero.

He primarily does Rap but this one's a little different. Great 70's Soul sound.

They have a similar sound to a group call The Ting Tings, if you've ever heard of them. Hope you have good bass.

I was recommended this song and it was... hinted that maybe I could profile it :) It got me thinking about why I started posting these songs in the first place. To expose people to artists they may otherwise never hear. But I've gotten away from that because it's hard to discover new music when you're not able to go to YouTube and watch videos at will. So I've tended to fall back on standard bands we all know. But this month I'm going to try and get back to the roots of Music (Czar) Monday.
