Hey dude, good to go to some, this is Lisa Beavan. This is our American stories sure America is the store and the American people and send your stories to our American stories.com. Some of our favorite. A story that comes to us from an Air Force fighter pilot and Top Gun graduate. Let's take a listen. My name is Brig. Gen. Jim boots Demarest I was a classmate, United States Air Force Academy of God by the name of Capt. Steve Phyllis tell the story about Steve and his life and the heroic circumstances around his shootdown and untimely death on 15 February 1991 during operation Desert Storm. Steve was a Midwestern kid on and raised in Rock Island, Illinois. He was the oldest of five children and described by both his mom and his dad as Dobson's strong-willed child early on in his life. His dad was in the how they had moved to Wyoming and Steve thought his parents so oppressive that he decided to run away, so he packed all his earthly belongings at age 4 and went out the front door and his parents watched him walk all the way. The parade field he got underneath the bleachers and attacked the peanut butter jelly sandwich and lasted about six hours under the bleachers before coming back and realizing that perhaps his mother and father's rules were not as onerous as he originally thought, but is the oldest of five.

He was a leader within the family and we hear that a lot about the oldest children, but in Steve's case. One of the examples that I think that kind of brings this out is that in Rock Island, Illinois.

The family lived in a neighborhood full of children and so they were constantly sports games going on outside. They will play street hockey and flag football and soccer. And as is often the case, the kids that were better athletes tried to put themselves all on the same team to compete against the kids that were not as athletic and Steve was the kind of kid that would be almost always selected as a captain, and unlike most of his peers. Steve would pick all the kids that nobody else picked to be on his team, but he would take a few minutes before the start of the soccer game and coach them all up, and nine times out of 10 the less athletic kids through Steve's leadership and coaching would come up on top of the neighborhood sports games and it was kind of a testament to the kind of guy he was. He was very much an informal and formal leader.

Later in his life but he was an aspiring kinda guy. Very quiet as a child. But, led by example and through action. He was a high school football player. He played in the marching band, but early on in his adult life. He determined that there was something more for him out there and he couldn't quite put his finger on it but as he approaches senior year in high school, it became evident to him that a future in the military would align with his organized fastidious personality and also with the fact that Steve felt a calling to serve. He was an altar boy was a captain of whatever sport he was on and so in the late 1977 he wrote a letter and applied to go to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. In the letter that he wrote to the Congressman is is a classic because unlike a lot of others who wrote their Congressman to talk about the free education and that Steve's letter to his Congressman is very focused on the fact that he felt that it was his duty as an American citizen to serve in the military and that the Air Force Academy would provide him with the greatest opportunity to serve. He also thought it might be need to be a pilot, which he mentioned in his application, but it was much more about service and his obligation to his country and for his own personal gain. So the summer of 1978 Steve shows up in Colorado Springs with 1500 of his new friends to attend United States Air Force Academy and his parents made the trip that many parents do they loaded up the family station wagon with all of Steve's worldly possessions. The other four children and they made the long drive from Rock Island, Illinois to Colorado Springs on a sunny bright morning in June 1978 Steve was dropped off and that in short order. Talk to March and marched off with the group of a dozen or so of his new classmates. Sony graduated from the Air Force Academy on June 2, 1982. He was one of 450 classmates off to undergraduate pilot training and Steve went off to pilot training with one goal in mind and that was to be fire qualified and fly the A-10 warthog as an Air Force fighter and his single-minded focus and determination drove him through the 52-week pilot training program. He excelled academically. He was always extremely well prepared. He was a cool character under pressure and those things in the military aviation world translated to success and so on assignment night in late 1983.

Steve was fortunate enough to get his first choice that assigned the A-10 warthog and is on was on his way to Alex Louisiana to Suman airbase in the Republic of Korea after being in Suman for a while, becoming upgraded to instructor pilot. It became clear to Steve that he wanted to to excel in the A-10 and that means they want to compete to attend the prestigious air forces fighter weapons school. Now, many may know that what the school is Top Gun from the Navy movie.

But the Air Force fighter weapons school was more than just a place to do great flying. Steve got over 200 hours of instruction and platform instruction to make them not only a great fighter pilot, but a great instructor and he loved to teach any love to learn about the A-10 and so while it Suman. He was selected for and attended the prestigious Air Force fighter weapons school where he graduated as a distinguished graduate returning to Suman airbase to complete his two-year assignment in Korea and you're listening to Brig. Gen. Jim boots Demers tell the story of Capt. Steve Phillips and you're learning about a profile in character in a profile of some of the men and women who serve this nation. In particular the ones that go to our academies and that's a West Point and Annapolis and in Colorado Springs at the Air Force Academy West Point course the Army and the Navy and Annapolis, Maryland.

Gen. Jim boots Demers telling the story of Capt. Steve, Phyllis, let's pick up where we last left. Then it was time for another assignment and Steve that I was lucky enough to get 1/3 assignment to fly the A-10, this time in a much different environment as he was shipped from Korea to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Steve is cruising along like the rest of us until summer of 1990, when Saddam Hussein's Republican guards roll south from Iraq into little country that at that time.

None of us had heard of call Kuwait and Myrtle Beach was part of a quick reaction force at the time such that as soon as Armour came south into Kuwait. Myrtle Beach was put on recall and told to get ready to deploy and Steve as a weapons officer and tactical leader of the Panthers were designated to be the first squadron out the door. Within a few weeks of the invasion loaded onto C5 and sent to Saudi Arabia to a little airbase in the middle of nowhere, so they land in the door comes down on the transport airplane and Steve and the others on the airplane are greeted by hundred 20� blast of heat from the desert, the likes of which they had never felt before, and they quickly prepared for the arrival of a squadron of 24 a tends which when they landed at half a load of fuel. The only act weapons they had on board were gone and they were the only thing standing between the Republican guards in Saudi Arabia and I think that people have to remember is at the time that Iraq invaded Kuwait, they had the fifth largest standing army on the face of the earth. They had just come out of 10 years of combat operations with a ran so they were very experienced. They were equipped with some of the most modern and sophisticated Soviet built aircraft and surface-to-air missiles that the world had seen and so while we know in the end that Desert Storm was a stunning victory that was anything but assured in the summer of 1990, and so the buildup during Desert Shield is all about getting people ready in the prelude to the war. Steve had been promoted out of being the weapons officer and now was the commander of C flight and a flight commander is essentially the officer in charge of about 12 other pilots in the squadron and one of Steve's important prewar tasking's was to make what we call combat pairings and the idea here is that you would take your most experienced pilot and pairing him with the least experienced pilot to average out the experience of the flight so that as we went out there.

It increases survivability of the squadron. Overall, and so I Steve is the high time A-10 pilot in his flight decided to do a select as his combat wingman, a Lieut. Rob suite but we have seen is a redoubling of Saddam Hussein's efforts to destroy completely Kuwait and its people. I have therefore directed Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf in conjunction with coalition forces to use all forces available, including ground forces to eject the Iraqi army from Kuwait. So Desert Storm kicks off and Rob and Steve identify 29 of their first 30 combat missions together and it is everything from the nine attacks of unmanned targets to being shot out by surface-to-air missiles and antiaircraft artillery and they had an incredible experience back and forth.

But the story really that want to focus on surrounds their 30th combat mission on February 15 of 1991. Steve and Rob were tasked on was by far their most dangerous mission of the war.

They were tasked to fly hundred miles north of the Kuwait Saudi border and attacks that's elite Republican guards the same unit is that it spearheaded the initial invasion and who were equipped with racks. Most modern equipment so their test against the Republican guards but not just any Republican guards. They have to get test against the Medina division which later became famous for the battle of Medina Ridge.

They prove themselves throughout the war to be the most ferocious and dedicated fighters of any unit and in the Iraqi Republican guards and the mission was very straightforward to prepare the battle space for an upcoming invasion they were to target artillery, armor and military equipment that would make this mission even more difficult was that the Republican guards had concentrated their forces so this is unit of about 10,000 elite Republican guard troops were amassed in a circle about 3 miles wide and 6 miles across and the idea behind that was to spread the equipment out enough to make it hard to target but to provide overlapping fields of fire for the over 150 pieces of mobile antiaircraft artillery in the 24 essay 13 batteries how the essay 13 was the most modern and sophisticated first air missile that the Iraqis owned it was Soviet built and designed and unlike other systems, it did not rely on radar.

It would track in the infrared and the electro-optical spectrum, meaning that the aircraft would would get no electronic warning that was being shot at and it was arrayed with overlapping fields of fire throughout this Republican Guardian.

So Stephen Rob launch for their afternoon mission at about 2 PM local. They go up they conduct a pre-strike refueling to top off on fuel and they take their fully loaded a tends 100 miles north to try and find military targets against the Republican guards and targets they find. Steve is getting ready to roll in and do a strafing pass and Rob is in an orbit at 10,000 feet in the way that they they ran the tactics here is one guy would roll in and attack in the other fighter in a supporting role with orbit overhead to look out for antiaircraft artillery and surface-to-air missile launchers. So Steve Zane comes off target and as he looks up, he notices that a surface-to-air missile has been lost at Rob suite and Steve keys the mic and calls and field break Sam launch and about the same time.

Rob looks out and sees a surface-to-air missile has been launched thin trail of white smoke and the missile is stationary on this canopy assigned that it is tracking toward hymns not moving left or right. It's is tracking toward him, so Steve calls out the break Bob dispenses Chaffin players as a hygiene maneuver and successfully defeats the first surface-to-air missile that Robin had experienced in his Desert Storm missions. At this point. Perhaps it was time to leave, but the eight hands had decided early in the war that if anybody on the ground shot at them. They were then immediately return lethal fire.

They were trying to discourage these Sam operators and shooting at coalition aircraft and is no better way to dissuade someone from shooting than the sheet back at them so consistent with their tactics.

Steve Rosen comes off a strafing pass starts to make a turn and now it's Rob's turn to roll in and deliver lethal fire against the surface-to-air missile launch site at that moment Steve sees that a second surface-to-air missile launching a different location is guiding on Rob's airplane calls for the break too late suite doesn't see it and is in his left hand turn when he feels little bit of a thump in this airplane is now gold wings level. That's not a violent explosion. There's no big bank and he looks down and there's a bunch of lights on in the cockpit now and he looks out to his right wing and sees a big hole with the right wing used to be. Most of it is gone there some residual fire from the fuel of hydraulic lines and now all sorts of light, start to come on in the cockpit, indicating that there's a major malfunction going on in the airplane and you're listening to Brig. Gen. Jim Demers tell the story of Capt. Steve Phillips and his raid from a base in Saudi Arabia 100 miles north coming in contact with the Medina division.

The most ferocious division of Saddam Hussein's. What happens next.

Gen. Jim boots Demers telling the story of Capt. Steve, Phyllis, and arrayed that cost him his life in 1991.

Let's return to Brig. Gen. Demers with the rest of the story. The controls are not responding until he reaches down and pulls the ejection handles and now is under parachute descending on top of the troops that he and Steve just got done. Bob suite takes off his helmet check and got a good parachute he can hear bullets whizzing by his head as he is making this five-minute parachute dissent low on fuel alone, orbiting at 10,000 feet in the slow-moving airplane over 10,000 emboldened Iraqi troops. After about a minute following suites ejection. Steve has earned the right to leave yet. The thought of leaving never crosses his mind to get back on the radio.

After getting the search and rescue started and starts to call other eight hands in the local area and connects with a flight call pack Meyer three and four and begin to talk to the flight lead and what I think is important understand that the A-10 is not equipped with a radar and so in order for A-10 piles the funds and then have to visually acquire no radar or other geewhiz equipment that helps them find each other so Steve is on the radio orbiting in a left-hand turn at 10,000 feet. Everybody on the ground with a rifle with a antiaircraft artillery or with the same system is now shooting at Steve and Steve is trying to talk this flight of a tends to come over his position to help provide additional firepower in support because he's not willing to concede the fact that suites can get captured three minutes after suite ejects Steve is still orbiting over the target and enforcing the inbound eight hands are unable to find Steve and locate suite position and so in an act that can only be considered selfless and heroic Steve reaches down and purposely dispenses high visibility pyrotechnic flares is intent there is to use those as a visual signal to get the A-10's eyes on what in fact it also does is it anybody on the ground that had not yet seen Steve now sees three minutes 45 seconds after suite ejects an eternity in a combat zone orbiting over an entire division of Iraqi troops. Steve's A-10 is struck by an essay 13 and he quickly identifies the fact that it's more legal. What is he do the first thing he does is gets on the radio and tells the guys that are inbound. Hey guys it's too hot here. You should not come then, and only after making sure that his inbound friends are safe. He turns airplane south to try and put additional distance between himself and robs ejection location. Knowing that search and rescue forces are on their way to Rob. Steve makes it about 15 miles south his airplane falling apart. He keys the mic on his way out of the area and in a voice as cool and calm as I'm telling the story today using the code word for the day for aircraft down keys the mike and says Enfield 37 his bag as well just a few minutes later, unbeknownst to his friends his fellow fighter pilots his wingman's family is a tennis struck by another surface-to-air missile shot from a different Republican guard unit that knocks the tail off the A-10 and the mortally wounded airplane cartwheels into the desert killing Steve Phyllis on impact Rob suite lands 50 m from a Russian built P 72 tank and is swarmed by dozens of Iraqi soldiers beating him with fists and rifle butts had it not been for a couple of Iraqi officers came out and drug him out of there. He may not have survived his first minute on the ground.

He is taken to an underground facility is transferred to Baghdad he is beaten and tortured and interrogated, but 19 days after he was shot down coalition air forces got word that Iraq was going to liberate all the prisoners of war and at the time, Steve was awarded and earned the Silver Star and the Purple Heart for his heroism that day, Air Force magazine wrote a great article summarizing Steve's heroics and making the case and asking the question, what is it take for a fighter pilot to earn the medal of honor because although we been in aerial combat for the last 30 years. No fighter pilot has earned the medal of honor since Vietnam and look Steve is a hero because the silver star recognizes gallantry in action in the medal of honor standard is very high as it should be. But to be awarded the medal of honor. A member has to display conspicuous gallantry at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual from his comrades must've involved risk of life and has to be against a military enemy in a named operation and so when you look at those standards and the heroism of the story that I just told, I think that Steve Phyllis and his heroics check all those boxes and I'm not the only one I've been able to garner the support of not only our entire class.

But Steve's Wing Commander now retired Maj. Gen. Sandy Sharp, who was a colonel at the time and directly involved in Steve's combat valor award agrees that upon further review of the evidence that Steve's heroics are worthy of the medal of honor at the medal of honor upgrade process is difficult and long and this a political component to it, meaning that after we assemble all this evidence as to what Steve did and all these sworn statements, a member of Congress has to come forward and endorsed the fact that they support the upgrade of the combat valor award and I am very pleased to announce that while I cannot mention the name of the United States Sen. quite yet a prominent senator has stepped up and said that they intend to endorse the package and put Steve Phyllis's award forward upgrade is Silverstar the medal of honor, and whether it gets upgraded or not is beyond my control.

But what is in my control is to share Steve's story of heroics in any way that I can and I think that sentiment is best expressed by the dedication of the book.

Five. Nicholas does anything dedication to my children to Gabby and Chad so that you will know a true hero when you see one, and that is the story of Air Force Capt. Steve and a great job on the production by Greg Hendler and a special thanks to Brig. Gen. Jim boots Demers retailing and sharing the story of heroism. Capt. Steve Phyllis and his work during the Gulf War in 1991 in history repeats itself again and again and again and again. Men and women in this great country. Step up and do things like Capt. Steve did on that day for his body for his brother in arms. By the way, if you love the store and want to know more.

This is our American stories up next to the story from Mark O'Brien who listens to us on KM 0X a.m. in St. Louis and this story is about one of his personal heroes. Mark is the author of have pulled you will travel which outlines this true character is our own Monty Montgomery with the story pool is a sport with a rich history to it and today it's one of the most popular participation sports in America and there are countless names of just gone down as the best players of the game, including St. Louis, though it appears Mark O'Brien with more on this interesting character. I met Millie when I was 15 that was in 1970 is a small pool room St. Louis. I had heard some stories about someone name St. Louis little I heard them over and over again. I never met him. I thought it would be a guy about 50 or 60 years old. One day I'm in the pool room practicing in a guy about 21 walked in and you would've thought a celebrity lot all the old-timers in the pool room right about the same time they said absolutely and slowly that everybody shook his hand down Bob Loblaw. From that day on he became my hero. Lily was one of the most charismatic people I've ever met.

I didn't have anything to do with pool when Louis was around anybody, anywhere, anytime. All the eyes were on Lily.

He just had a way of making you feel good, smile, laugh. He was like a magnet, his skills were incredible and he is been called by hundreds of people may be the greatest shop maker in full history. Louis Roberts could cut a pool ball like nobody else could. My gosh's favorite game was nine ball and that's a rotation game one through nine. You have to have the lowest numbered ball first and if you make that go on to the next ball and then when you finally get to the nine can you make it to win the game and Louis had an open shot just run out the man he was stone cold run out artists. He was amazing and amazing people was born Louis Francis Roberts 1950 here in St. Louis, Missouri the future to time. U.S. Open nine ball champion, William would actually dominate the sport for over two decades. Lily's dad purchased a brand-new engagement pool table.

So the six children that have fun while they were at home.

We have five siblings two sisters and three brothers but they had difficulty getting Louis away from the table is an early teen Lily became infatuated with pool practice for several hours every day.

By the time he was 15 or 16 no one in St. Louis could beat him playing a fall.

Louis made his first road volvulus, Cleveland high school when they were sophomore Paul. Luckily, the only car in him and Louis would travel thousands of area hotspots on the weekends and they won piles of money. This Paul tells it really was a young phenom and rarely if ever miss the shop and Louis always had a ton of energy and was also an accomplished athlete in high school. He was a star gymnast and a cross-country running, Louis had only two things on his mind. As a young boy activities.

By the time he was 17. We had a reputation of being unbeatable pool table out of town hustler started showing up in St. Louis when they departed their bankroll shrunk. One thing that separated Louis from other gamblers. Louis would often refund portion of his winning because he hated to see anyone go broke. One other thing Lily was becoming a dead ringer for Elvis Pressley and looks the part and the love the attention on occasion fluid walk on his hands around the pool tables at the SportsCenter in St. Louis while reciting verbatim lines from his favorite movie Scarface lose impression about Pacino spot on eyewitness feeds like those dozens of times as I was the color of the SportsCenter along with my partner Larry LaBarbera. Larry hired Louis as her house, Pro in 1988.

Louis left us with dozens and dozens of white classic memories that will never be forgotten. Illuminated several tricks at exhibitions at the SportsCenter and he scared us on more than one occasion.

Fluid set up a series of five difficult shots and guarantee he would make them insect shots are less. He then promised everyone in attendance of five dollar bill if he was unsuccessful sometimes 50 people or more were in the building and we were on the book for the payout in my part. Of course it made us very nervous, but we never paid out a dime. Louis was a sensational trick shot artists. One of his best shots is called the Chattanooga Choo Choo. He would lay three cues on the pool table and it would make like a train track and he would pocket for balls and then the cue ball would go around the table and it would pop up in the air and come down on this track. And then it would roll right toward another pocket. The cue ball would pocket another ball that usually got the biggest rise out of the audience whenever he did an exhibition.

Louis started winning, replacing very high in major US tournaments at age 22 when he won the 1974 Orlando, Florida 09 ball tournament and that was versus a large group of other seasoned nationals and road tested positive, and it wasn't just his skill that one him tournament after tournament. It was also his wet your opponent approaches the table gets down to take a shot. You shouldn't say anything and Louis never did say anything. But while Lily was shooting man. He was so talkative he just might do things to make you nervous without you realizing one time some guy came in. Louis did not know and the guy asked for a large handicap and the guy ran the first two racks.

Louis knew he was a little bit of trouble so he asked the guy Jos� do you inhale and exhale in the guise of what you mean because well you play real good. I was just wondering before you pull the trigger. Do you inhale and exhale. Well the guy got so confused he was struggling to breathe. The rest of the match anyone on tilt and could make a ball after that will and then there was Louis's debut into the film industry well blockbuster movie theaters in 1986 starting Tom Cruise and Paul Newman.

The film was titled color of money when the producers of the directors gathering the gas of pool playing teachers. Lily was a no-brainer to be chosen as a great teacher of the game and used to give private lessons are a hefty fee so Louis lasted a few weeks on the payroll.

Louis and a few other great players gave hands-on instruction to Paul Newman and Tom Cruise. Lily claimed he would've been chosen for one of the speaking parts in the movie, but they told him he looked too much like Elvis settled it can be seen in the movie three or four times in his name is actually announced at the big tournament. Louis was very proud that mention Lily also mentioned that while Newman can average pool skills. Tom Cruise is never playful.

It was more difficult to teach, so naturally Louis became friends with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise and Lily had a personal contact phone number for both of them, which he kept in his little black book on December 22, 1991. Louis apparently took his own life's untimely death sent shockwaves throughout the billiard industry back in our pool room. Thousands of former and current players stop by to pay homage and view the many pictures of Lily that were displayed on the wall right next to his favorite table. Table number one Louis state. Godspeed, Lily rest in peace until we meet again pool have an great job and I piece Monty Montgomery doing the work Mark O'Brien, a listener, bringing us the story of St. Louis Louis here on our American story.
