The GD National Hero

Step into the tumultuous year of 1977, where a gripping tale of desperation and audacity unfolds. In a shocking turn of events, Anthony Kiritsis, driven by a turbulent mix of frustration and resentment, takes a mortgage broker named Richard Hall hostage at gunpoint. Today I tell the riveting story of Anthony Kiritsis, exploring the depths of his motivations, the media frenzy that ensued, and the enduring questions it raises about the thin line between desperation and defiance.
