Greatest American?

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

Now that I think about it, I wish the #1 would have been "the American people" instead of one person. I like the idea of the Average Joe being just as important to the greatness of our country as anyone else.

I like the idea, but probably would have been more specific as in saying "The troops for the Army, Navy, National Guard, etc and their families" They are great Americans in that they risk their lives for us all.

Police, firefighters, EMTs, the wonderful, patient souls who work teaching the 'challenged', the sweet nurses working with efficiency & love, under less than good conditions; the parents/guardians who work 2 jobs & deny themselves to give their families a better life; students who busted their butts studying & working to get thru high school, trade school or college w/o the 'legacy' priviledges; caring & strong physical therapists who never give up or let us give up; gifted teachers who open up the world for us...
