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.

I wish I had a picture on my phone of my late grandfather. A paratrooper from the Vietnam war along with my late cousin who was KIA in Veitnam in 1970. My grandfather meant a lot to me, he passed in 2008 and miss him everyday. He was the last to join the military in my family until I joined last summer. I do have a few pics of a memorial my small village has for veterans from there

My hero(s) are every soldier I knew and deployed with. Combat deployments. Their faces are too many to post on here. Those who malingered, purposely popped hot on UA tests so they wouldn't deploy, and a few other quitters are not on that list of Heroes.

I am a goof and misread the actual question. I guess Alaska has me a little delirious.

LTG Moore is definitely an Outstanding Leader and Hero!

My personal idol is a current service member, HM1 McPike (IDC/FMF/SW/AW). Very smart man. He has climbed through the ranks in a short amount of time and is a true expert in the field of medicine. I would love to follow in his footsteps and be an IDC one day. (If you don't know the abbreviations then just ask and I'll be happy to extend on them)
