Yeah, for me it was a toss up between Highnoon, Seargent York, and his character in Friendly Persuasion, but I wanted to limit my choices!

I will also steal one of Gary Cooper's characters in the film "Sergeant York" - I don't know how realistic it was a picture of the actual Sergeant York but the character in the film embodies many of my ideals of what a man is
Here's an idea for your next thread: Post a photo of the woman that embodies all of our ideals
Jimmy, great choice!!

Lance Armstrong is my choice. Perseverance through adversity. He had an inner strength that we could only dream about. IMO the best athlete of all time.

Can we contribute more than once ? How about the caveat that it has to be an actual person who accomplished what they did in real life and not an actor playing a part ? Brigadier General James Stewart was an actor but he actually flew combat missions over Germany in WWII and risked his life fighting for his country. Not just a play actor. The uniform was US government issue, not from central casting.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
