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.

My hero(es) we're the Combat Medics and Navy Corpsmen who preceded me. I studied and researched the military and those before me extensively before joining. Many people impressed me, but those folks really gave inspiration! I'm proud to be amongst them now as a combat Veteran and fellow "Doc". Thank you gentlemen!

Hated by many southerners but his mission was to finish of the logistical support of the south. Ending the Civil War sooner may have saved more lifes.

a hero looks like my father, Will R Browning who fought in Korea as a member of the 1st cav. 5th regiment. He still carries some fragments in his spine from one of the two purple hearts he earned. After the war he tried civilian life, but joined the USAF after a year.

I'm stand next to my hero. He is my son SGT(P) Nick Wesson. He is a 15T Crew Chief and Master Gunner with 1st CAB, 1st ID. This is a picture of he and I at his graduation from Advanced Leader Course on the 6 Feb 2015 at Fort Eustis, VA. I'm sure that his Grand Pa Ben (CPT WWII 17th Airborne and 101st Airborne) and his Great Grand Pa Luke (1SG WWI 42nd ID) think of him in this way also!
