Capt. Stephen Hill had a 23-year career in the Army and a secret that he
felt he could never make public without throwing it all away.
THE HIDDEN MAN
America saw Stephen Hill's face for 15 seconds.
It took him a lifetime to show it.

I want so badly to one day have a family of my own with my soul mate, he wrote in his journal.
I really wonder if that's possible. I know you are out there. I
know you think about me too. I am so hungry for compassion, not sex. I
fall asleep every night and hug my pillows so tight pretending it's you.
I don't have any idea what you look like. I don't care. How do I know
what to say to you when I see you? How will I know it is you? I am so
lonely waiting for you that I want to be extremely careful not to be
blinded by someone pretending to be you.
