My dad is my hero, but as he gets up in years, he becomes more and more crotchety, so I highly doubt he would let you make a movie about him.

If you have good parents then they should be your heroes. Parents are usually the biggest supporters and they care about your well being more than any singer or movie star.

Mark Lunsford is my hero. He has done so much and raised so much money to raise awareness of child crimes. He has put bills before the Florida Senate and has had them pass. He has taken the tragic death of his daughter and raised awareness. He has changed laws and stood tall and proud during the trail of his daughters abductor and murder. He has done things that I would not be capable of had I been in his shoes. He makes me proud to be from Florida and I applaud him.

THE ARMY COMENDATION MEDAL WITH “V” DEVICE
TO
SGT. CHRISTOPHER M. ROGERS
SGT. Christopher M. Rogers, B Co., 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry, TF 2-69 Armor (Ramadi Iraq) is specifically cited for heroism during combat actions in Ramadi, Iraq on October 10, 2005. As a squad leader for TF 2-69’s Quick Reaction Force (QRF), SGT Rogers led and participated in combat actions where his leadership under fire, heroism, and courage were demonstrated to all;
On 10 October, the QRF was sent into downtown Ramadi in an attempt to secure and conduct CASEVAC at the site where a Scout Bradley had been damaged by the explosion of a large IED. As the QRF moved into the city center, SGT Rogers led the platoon’s 2nd Squad with the mission of dismounting to provide aid and security to the casualties and vehicles at the site. As the platoon neared the site of the explosion, they identified the burning vehicle and began maneuvering to secure the area. As Alpha section’s lead Bradley (B-22) moved past the burning vehicle in an attempt to secure the site, it too was hit by a large IED resulting in the death of both the Bradley Commander and Gunner who were ejected by the explosion into the street. The bodies of the two soldiers were now lying in the middle of the intersection. B22 continued to roll forward engulfed in flames until it stopped by the already burning vehicle. At this point, two things happened: insurgents in the area attacked the platoon with small arms fire, while the ammunition inside both Bradley’s began “cooking off”. All maneuvers with Bradley’s stopped because of the possible IED threats between themselves and the intersection. The platoon identified and engaged the insurgents from their positions. As the firefight began to die down, EOD arrived on scene; however, they did not come up on Battalion or Platoon nets. SGT Rogers, in order to alleviate the confusion and to get them to start clearing, dismounted under fire with his team leader SGT Kinsley and raced toward the EOD Humvee, opened their doors for cover and then instructed them on what needed to be done and what net to use. SGT Rogers and SGT Kinsley stayed at the EOD Humvee until they began clearing, then returned to their Bradley. A fire truck was supposed to arrive to extinguish the blaze and eliminate any more “cook offs” before attempting to recover the bodies still in the intersection. Upon hearing that the fire truck would not be coming, SGT Rogers dismounted his squad and maneuvered them to the intersection to recover the bodies of the fallen soldiers. The PSG and PL’s Bradley’s maneuvered into the intersection to shield the dismounts as they placed the fallen soldiers into the back of the Bradley, only to return to Combat Outpost to be the first solder to remove the bodies out of the back of the PL’s Bradley. Then when given the option to take a break and let soldiers who were on guard go back into the city, SGT Rogers volunteered to go back into Ramadi and aid in the recovery of the two Bradley’s in anyway he could. SGT Roger’s actions o 10 October, his courage in both the face of insurgent small arms fire and continual “cook off” of rounds from B-22, and his ability to focus and lead his squad to recover fallen comrades are in the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit, upon himself, the NCO Corp and his unit.

Audie Murphy was and is my hero. Birth: Jun. 20, 1924
Death: May 28, 1971
World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. Probably the most famous American field combat soldier to emerge from World War II. Served in Europe in the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant of Company B 1 5th Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division. He was awarded the CMOH for his bravery near Holtzwihr, France, on January 26, 1945. His Citation reads: “2nd Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. 2nd Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to prepared positions in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him, to his right, 1 of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. 2nd Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2nd Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machinegun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2nd Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad which was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued the single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he killed or wounded about 50. 2nd Lt. Murphy's indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction, and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy's objective”. His Medal was issued on August 9, 1945. His war-time efforts won him promotions up to Major, US Army. When he was discharged he was the most decorated American soldier of the War, garnering 27 different medals (5 each from France and Belgium). In addition to the Medal of Honor, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, The Legion of Merit, The Purple Heart, the Silver Star with First Oak Leaf Cluster and the Bronze Star with First Oak Leaf Cluster, as well as numerous Campaign Medals. After the war he found a measure of stardom as a Motion Picture Actor, and played himself in “To Hell and Back” in 1955, which detailed his exploits. He also starred in the critically acclaimed 1951 movie version of Stephen Crane’s “Red Badge of Courage”. In all, he appeared in 47 films, most of them either Westerns or War movies. Despite his acclaim, his experiences in World War II haunted him for his life, and he was plagued by depression and insomnia, as well as financial troubles. His status as being the “Most Decorated Soldier” from World War II never brought him any happiness, and he often commented that so many others soldiers should have gotten medals, but never did, because they gave their lives in the War. He died in a plane crash in Virginia after completing his last film “A Time for Dying”. Buried with full military honors in a section near the Tomb of the Unknowns, his grave attracted so many visitors that a special walkway was built. When all the Medal of Honor recipients buried in Arlington had their headstones replaced with the now-standard Gold Leaf inlayed Medal of Honor marker, his family requested his be kept plain and inconspicuous, in accordance with his wishes. In the year 2000 the United States Postal Service honored him on a Postage Stamp.
