Batman (he's way cooler than Superman). But seriously, my Mom who has such a loving heart and who while she is sometimes hard on me, is always there; my grandfather, Ito, who was just too cool for words; my Dad- who writes so many darn books, teaches, advises, runs around the world to conferences, but still has time to call me & make sure I'm not spending too much (and who epitomizes strong); and my grandmother: Ita- who always takes care of me (in oh so many ways) and has more energy to travel the world than people my age. Oh yes, and any enlisted Marines- you rock, gotta love the few & the proud! (ooh-rah!)
