For me it would have to be my father. I remember when he came home from Vietnam when I was 7. As he was walking through the airport in Kansas City, MO. He was cursed, spit on, called baby killer and all other sorts of vile names. I remember his reaction to all of this. He never lost his military bearing, never spoke, he just looked straight ahead, wrapped his arms around us, gathered his baggage and led us out the door. He is the reason I went into the military. To me he was all that was right with this Country and the World. Rest in Peace dad.

General Frank D. Merrill
He led Merrill’s Marauders to fight the Japanese along the Burma Road. The units flash was later adopted by Ranger Regiment. Lessons learned about leading Soldiers during extreme fluctuations in weather and terrain, with little sleep, shortage of food and in an austere environment lead the foundation of Ranger School, many of the things that make Ranger School a Run/march/climb/swim of missary where inspired by the experiences of Merrill’s Marauders.

Sadly, all I have is pictures and memories of my father. I could really use his help and advice right now.

Retired General Stanley McChystral. Growing up, I wanted to be just like him, watching him on the news. A man of discipline, and character.
