Hank Wedaa is being honored at 2015 Fuel Cell Seminar. I was lucky enough to get to laugh with my old friend yesterday! He is a Hydrogen Hero to me but he's lived 100 lives in his 91 years. Hank flew 30 missions over Northern Europe in his crew’s B-24, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters--just one of his incredible accomplishments.
