Episode 331 - HANGING ON
On this episode of "The Thick and Mystic Moment," host Robert John Hadfield shares a compelling story about Major James Frederick Lowe, a U.S. Air Force pilot who overcame tremendous adversity to become one of the most decorated fighter aces in history. Through vintage news articles and Lowe's obituary, Robert reveals how Lowe's remarkable journey demonstrates resilience, perseverance, and the power of believing in oneself.
Lowe grew up thinking he was destined for failure, unable to find purpose and struggling to meet expectations. After serving in World War II, he tried several careers and gambled away his savings before joining the Air Force. Despite feeling inadequate and lacking confidence, his desire to find meaning in life pushed him to pursue his passion for flying. His hard work and dedication paid off as he quickly became one of the youngest fighter aces in Korea, shooting down nine enemy MiGs.
Robert emphasizes Lowe's pivotal moment of change when, as a child, his father rescued him from a ledge. Lowe had shouted, "I can't hang on," but his father replied, "Yes, you can," a message that stayed with him through his darkest hours. It was this unwavering belief that enabled him to endure eight months of brutal torture in a North Vietnamese POW camp and ultimately return home a hero.
Hadfield encourages listeners to draw inspiration from Lowe's story, reminding us that even in our most challenging moments, the strength to endure and succeed is within us. As you tune in, reflect on the importance of believing in yourself and finding meaning in adversity. Life will challenge you, but remember that "Yes, you can" – and you will.
