On February 19, 1945 in Germany, a 13-year-old girl was standing outside her parents’ farmhouse when she looked up at the sky and saw something that would haunt her for the rest of her life. What she saw was a mysterious man falling from the sky without a parachute. She immediately knew he was condemned to a certain death and felt so sorry for him. Her mind told her to look away, but she couldn’t take her eyes off him. What she didn’t know was the identity of this man. His name was S/Sgt Tzolag A. Aaronian, and he was an Armenian American hero from Massachusetts.

A heartfelt tribute to an Armenian hero! Thanks John!
Thank you for sharing the life of Tzolag Aaronian.
Thanks you John for publishing this article. Tzolag Aaronian was my uncle. I never met him because he died before I was born. It’s nice to know that he’s being remembered after all these years.
