I would want to meet my grandmother. I have heard a lot of stories about her but I was so young when she passed away that I don't have many memories of her. I would love to hear some of my family history from her.

If I could meet anyone in history, it would be my father on the day I was conceived. I'd tell him to use a condom.

“If I could meet anyone in history I’d want to meet our first President George Washington”.
Although; I’m certain most Americans know who our first President was, I don’t think most of us including myself truly enough about who was Washington the Man. Meaning I don’t think we know enough about what made George Washington tick.
Our first President was truly multi-facetted man. We know from just the quickest of overviews we have:
Washington the Plantation Owner
Washington the Surveyor
Washington the Soldier
Washington the Spy
Washington the Visionary
Washington the Man of Peace
From my observations Washington strikes me as being a truly stoic man, because he continually displays 4 virtues, Courage, Discipline, Justice, and Wisdom, which is why I want to know what made the man tick, what was his view of the world he lived in?
I’d also love to be able to spend endless hours with him in order to learn what his vision of our Nations future was.
What did he think our Nation would look like in 1850, or 1900, or even today.

Albert Einstein, I just can't imagine how much knowledge I would gain from him it would probably overload my circuits

Probably the first guy who ever thought it was a good idea to smash grapes, let the juice ferment, and drink it. Dude was a genius!

General Robert E Lee, because he was one of the greatest military minds of his day.

I would want to meet the writers of the Deceleration of Independence so discuss their thoughts and understanding the document better and ask how it is applied to 2023 and beyond .

If I could have a chance to meet someone in history it would be my Grandfather. Why? To have had the chance to learn more about our “FAMILY” military history.

My father the buck Sargent in WWIi..
He was a man that was humble and caring.. a solider that not only survived the pain of watching his brothers in arms pas before his eyes, but he also respected those that others believed was the enemy, but in his mind he knew what they really were... men who were misguided by a world that didn't know what loving your neighbor really was.. It is everyone in the world.. He carried that into his life many years before I was born.. and it wasn't until years after his death that I learned of what he did to provide for those that others called the enemy or different because of where they were from our what ethnic group they were born into.. I wish I could have given him the hug he never received for all the love he gave..
