My Tribute to My 2 Heros

This page is lovingly dedicated to my 2 heros. Both have taken their place in the pages of history. Both have lived consistant lives. Both have loved their country with every fiber of their being. Neither have been too "macho" to shed a tear for the United States of America, the greatest country in the world!

My first hero was John Wayne. Larger than life, he was a man who deeply loved his country. When searching for the words for the medal cast in his honor, they settled on these simple words. JOHN WAYNE, AMERICAN

This photo is from the movie, GREEN BERETS. Although the View Nam War was a very "unpopular" war, he made this movie in honor of the men who served their country as part of the elite Green Berets.

Fittingly, my other hero was our 40th President, Ronald Wilson Reagan. Here's a photo of both of my heros together.

And now a photo of the President giving a speech.

I have been deeply saddened by the death of President Reagan in June, 2004. But it seems like heros are bound to die. In the movie westerns, the hero rides off into the sunset. And with these 2 men, they both did the same thing. They rode off into the sunset, straight into the Arms of God. They may be gone, but they will never be forgotten by those who loved them.

I Need A Hero by Bonnie Tyler

Where have all good men gone And where are all the gods? Where’s the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong And he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There’s someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

Up Where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I would swear that there’s someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach Like a fire in my blood
