Sam Hildebrand did nothing more than stand up for his family. "I make no apology to mankind for my acts of retaliation; I make no whining appeal to the world for sympathy. I sought revenge and I found it; the key of hell was not suffered to rust in the lock while I was on the war path."

Thank you Larry. I wonder what we would do if our mother and brother were burned out of their home and then the young brother later hanged for no good reason other than hatred.
