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.

CMC Robert Young
In addition to being one of the most intelligent minds of his time (and likely all time), he is the only president to actually command a military unit while serving as president....took charge of troops defending Washington DC during the War of 1812.

My grandfather, SSgt Lelton H. Pittman. He was a WWII vet and served with the U.S. Arky 6th ID. Was promoted from PFC to SSgt in a battlefield promotion and served the remainder of the war at that rank leading a squad. He survived WWII and lived out a happy and fulfilling life. Unfortunately we lost him and Heaven gained a guard in 1999 before he ever got to meet my future wife or any of my kids. But we'll see him again one day, and I look forward to the reunion.
