Everyone has a hero or several heroes they admire.
Most would be people of high moral fiber or have been great people in history. They could be someone close to you, such as your father, neighbor or teacher. They may be someone you would want to be like. Or they may have influenced you into your life's work, a hobby or can I say, out of a life of infamous relationships and into a life without shame and heartache.
I'll list a few of my heroes.
Elmer Keith, a tough and crusty man who knew what he wanted in life and did whatever it took to get it.
Simon Kenton, a wayward youth who was running from the law for a murder he thought he committed, to become an explorer and frontiersman and Indian fighter in the Kentucky and Ohio wilderness.
George Patton, a career soldier, who in my opinion, was the driving force and muscle that kept Europe from falling into the hands of the Nazis, a history changer/maker of the highest level.
I have other heroes to a lesser degree, but, these are just a few whom I would have liked to have known personally, or to have served beside.
