Most people may go for someone famous but I would encourage you to possibly look within your own family or circle of people. The greatness of America is seen everyday in the lives of grandparents, elder citizens or people who do great things, overcome massive adversity, and have immeasurable impact on countless lives but go unnoticed and uncelebrated but by a few precious individuals who got the honor to know them. So look around you and see what " Greatest American " you find.

Abe lincoln. I chose Lincoln because during a period of history when our country was divided he continued to work to put it back together.
