If you could meet anyone in history, who would it be and why?

I'd like to meet Yehoshua bin Yosef (known today as Jesus Christ; a name he wouldn't have ever heard while he was alive) if I would have a someone to translate Old Classical Syriac or Aramaic for me. I'd like to learn how he feels about his simple teachings to the Israelis being spread far beyond his faith throughout the world into over 1,000 variations.

I would love to meet the Captain of the USS Indianapolis, Charles McVay. His career wasn't particularly extraordinary, but he and his surviving crew were subjected to one of the worst military tragedies in our history. The willpower he had to survive had to be incredible, but he unfortunately was turned into a scapegoat for the USN's failures. Ultimately he committed suicide due to the military tribunal he was put under and wasn't exonerated of his actions until Clinton's presidency.

Pericles. He led the ancient Athenians through their Golden Age, and then stood by helpless as he watched it fall to the plague, until he became victim to it himself. Can you imagine what that must have been like? I would love to know!

President George Washington

To gain his views and experiences of being a British officer, then moving and serving in the Colonial forces. What was it like to fight against people he once stood shoulder to shoulder with?

Also, if he could change anything whilst setting up and creating the constitution for a new nation, what would he change?

Malcom X because of the enlightenment and dignity he brought for the African American people.

Both of my grandfather's whom had both served in the Army, to see what they went through and what it felt like back when they were in. Both of different nationalities and times were very different. Although I grew up an Army brat, I joined the USNAVY and I'm sure my experience was much different than theirs. I'd like too see that history, they have both passed on. I know of some things they went through from family members as well as very little of what they had told me also, but I'm sure the experience is much different through their eyes. It would give reason also why certain things turnt the way it did before their passing.

Thomas Jefferson

John F Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Martin Luther King, each of these men were loved our country and supported the Words of our US Constitution and our country and believed the people our great Nation could come together and make this a better Society for all.

If I could meet Anyone in History I would Pick My Dad. The Reasons for this are when I was 11, my Dad got Sick. We had just been living in our new house a year, and next thing I knew my Dad was so sick and my mom took care of him in the Day and when my Aunt came home after work she took over. I was just a kid, I had 3 other sisters. So I was out playing with my Friends. My mom told me my Dad was getting better when he was Dying. It was horrible when he died. I could not even Speak. I felt betrayed. I went into 8th grade and did not talk to anyone about my Dad. Years of Therapy later and I still miss him. When my mom passed , my sisters and I got his memories..my Aunt did a lottery and I wound up with my Dad's flag presented to my mom at the funeral, we each got his medals. I talk to him all the time. I know there are a lit of famous people I could meet but my Dad holds precious in my Heart.

Hiawatha the great American Indian, peacemaker and spiritual guide. I’d like to learn his peacemaking skills, would love to hear anything he would have to say
