There was a Mexican hero- Jesús García, He was a machinist for Sonora's railroad. (during the steam engine era). He had the courage to save the town of Nacozari from destruction, when the train carrying explosives (TNT) caught fire. He rode the train and moved it out and away from the town... but the resulting explosion killed Jesús. I offer this paper model in his memory, To many today do not take the time to care for others, few would put their own live at risk to save others. This man helps me to remember my own brother Jesus.
