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.

Okay he is not in the military, nor his he great political or civil rights leader. He is short. But his guy grow up rough and has one of the best sense of humor in comedey today. You know what I respect him. When he has been serious he has said some profoundly funny things. He never forgets where he came from.

These men of reason who steadfastly spoke reason to others. Many have done wrong to you but rising above to be the change you want. Division is not the answer, unitity is the truth that strenghts us all. If only we all understood this.
