A Real American Hero

To the left of this text is a man who built this country. When the country was founded a dream was created in the hearts of men. This dream allowed anyone to succeed if they worked hard am made good choices. This man grew up with little to nothing and created a family. He employed scores of others so that the could help their families. He lent a hand to brothers and sisters who needed him. Gave back to his community. A man like this isn''t put on television. No newspaper writes about this man. Yet without him we would have no country. Many people do things for money, glory, or recognition. Yet that is not the motivation of this man. He does it for the good of others. Now, even beyond the grave his work still builds. He is in my heart, driving me to push forward. I know there are others who look to him in their time of need. When courage is needed, his lessons of sacrifice drive us on. When something needed doing, questions weren't asked, work was done. This man sacrifices his life for the benefit of others. No matter what the cost, he made sure that if it was wanted, it was gotten. This is what made America great. People like him to build the country up. Now we owe his memory a duty. We must continue his legacy and build the house stronger. Our task is to make a better future for our issue. We are fortunate enough to have been given a concrete foundation. Now, if we don't make the walls strong we are not honoring his memory. Stay strong, for his memory dictates it. This is what a real American Hero looks like.
