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.

Sgt1stclass Bruno Desilini, he motivated me to do the best I could, in Basic training and AIT. He was killed in action while touring Iraq. A great young man.

My grandfather, PFC Lawrence Cassidy. He volunteered during WWII as he was exempt from the draft. He never met his youngest son, but my grandmother was comforted knowing he had received her letter with the picture of the infant; it was returned with his effects.

Hal Moore is a Hero of the Airborne, Cav and Air Mobile communities. He is often mistaken for a stollen valor offender by the un-informed. However, his decorations are 100% earned.
