Hm
Butch O'Hare.
Edward O'Hare, the US Navy's first flying ace and Medal of Honor recipient in World War II
Roland O'Hare, the inventor of the toaster oven. He was a beloved figure in Chicago.
The guy from the Lorax Mr. O'Hare? He was actually a real person. Before the world was how we know it now, it was dearly polluted in the air by fecal matter form dinosaurs. Mr. O'Hare came in and started purifying the air around us so that there would be a safe environment for all human life rather than those who could just breath the non-pure air. These people were called puritans as you have probably heard.

The reason that it's airport code is ORD is because in the days when all flying was done under Visual Flight Rules, pilots used an apple orchard to find the field
Edward O'Hare, the Navy's first flying ace from World War II.
Colonel Robert R. McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune.
Captain Bucky O'Hare in honour of his brave command of the S.P.A.C.E. Frigate "Righteous Indignation" in the Toad Wars.
It is named after LTCDR Edward "Butch" O'Hare, a US Navy fighter ace, and a winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
On February 20, 1942, about 400 miles from Rabaul, the USS Lexington came under attack by Japanese Betty bombers. While the fighters of the Carrier Air Patrol were intercepting the incoming enemy planes, a second wave of Betty bombers approached from the opposite direction. "Butch" O'Hare and his wingman "Duff" Dufilho were the only two fighters available to counter the attack. As the two Navy fighters dived to attack the enemy, Dufhilo's guns jammed. O'Hare preceded to attack the enemy formation alone, claiming five air to air kills. In actuality, post war review of Japanese records indicated that O'Hare shot down only three outright and damaged two. One damaged Betty attempted to crash into Lexington but missed and crashed into the sea and another US pilot shot down the other damaged Betty as it tried to limp back to its base.
Promoted to the Commander of Air Group 6 aboard the USS Enterprise, O'Hare was killed in action in the early hours of November 26, 1943.
