On this page, I will list some of my heroes. It is not a complete list, but I will update it now and then.

George Washington
(1732 - 1799)
"First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
- Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee, 1799.

George Smith Patton, Jr.
(November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945)

I love Patton for several reasons. He has been one of my heroes, ever since I saw the film Patton. Many years later, I read Patton: A Genius for War by Carlo D'este and I learned to admire and appreciate him even more. General George Patton is an often misunderstood and maligned historical figure, however he exemplifies a great American.

John III Sobieski (Polish: Jan III Sobieski) (1629 – 1696)
One of the most notable monarchs of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, from 1674 until his death King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Sobieski's 22-year-reign was marked by a period of the Commonwealth's stabilisation, much needed after the turmoil of the Deluge and Khmelnytsky Uprising. Popular among his subjects, he was also a military genius, most famous for the victory over the Turks in the 1683 Battle of Vienna. Following his victories over the Ottoman Empire, he was called by the Turks the "Lion of Lechistan" and held as the saviour of European Christendom by the pope.
