I never really had a hero until I lost JC while he was serving in the Army for Operation Enduring Freedom. He was one of the best friends I've ever had; he was selfless, and would do anything he could to help anyone. He was also my adopted brother, and he was as overprotective of me as he was his own flesh and blood sister. After he died, his sister told me that he always talked about how I was his sister and one true friend. I miss him so much...he was one of my true friends, but I know he's watching out over me and the rest of his loved ones. RIP Specialist Jonathan Marshall Cheatham!!Sargent Michael Suttle is also a hero of mine... AIRBORNE!!Last, but NEVER LEAST, my grandpa, Sammie Lanier Starnes. He was a gentleman's gentleman, you couldn't help but want to be like him. He is one of the very few people I've never heard anything but kind things said about him.
