Ted Williams (Even with his stardom, he volunteered for TWO wars, WWII and Korea)
Winston Churchil (His perserverance, and strength, during the hardest of times allowed the British people to have the will to defeat the invading Nazis)
Julius Ansel.............. (A local , district politician, in the Dorchester/Mattapan section of Boston that would walk the streets, in front of snow plows, directing them where to plow so people would not lbe snowed in. He was always avalaible, on the street, or in his home, to hear his constituents with their problems, no matter how small, or large. I remember sitting in his living room, at one time, tellng him mine And, he took care of it.).

Holy crap! George Patton! George Patton! I can't believe you wrote his name.
You know, NEM. I have always suspected that you had some conservative values and they seem to be showing here.
It's all good, dude. |
