Bill Goines is an American hero with an exceptional life story-they say it's destined for the Big Screen. He completed three tours in Vietnam fighting the Communist Viet Cong and orchestrated over 100 dangerous missions without ever getting shot before attaining the highest enlisted rank in the navy. While the community of U.S Navy SEALs largely accepted him for his superior abilities, he still struggled for racial acceptance at home during the Civil Rights era-many anecdotal experiences in segregated downtown Norfolk. Bill is able to obviate the color spectrum through exceptional abilities and his naval "Combat V" awards tell the story.
