    Name a MAN OF HONOR

    This thread is for anyone and everyone to do exctly what the thread title is.

    NAME A MAN OF HONOR.

    I don't care what your definition is, how you classify a MAN OF HONOR, or if you're even serious. Joke MEN OF HONOR are allowed. Fake MEN OF HONOR are allowed. Female MEN OF HONOR are not allowed, unless made as a joke or they're fake.

    Real MEN OF HONOR are especially allowed.

    This is your wall of granite to etch who you believe is a MAN OF HONOR. This is also your wall of granite to spray paint your MAN OF HONOR grafitti. And I'll begin.

    I choose WARREN SPAHN as my MAN OF HONOR.
    People don't know what it is to be a champion.

    Oklahoma INVENTED it.

    Re: Name a MAN OF HONOR

    Robert E. Lee, Omar Bradley, Dwight Eisenhower, Abraham Lincoln...as I listed in a previous thread. Sorry, I think there are several worthy of mention.
    Lincoln is probably the most important, as he was our greatest President and kept the country together.

    Lee a patriot, but loyal to Virginia first and foremost, a concept twenty-first century man often has a hard time understanding. He worked tirelessly to repair the wounds of the war and conducted himself with aplomb throughout the war. He nixed Davis' plan for guerrilla warfare (which would have caused perhaps irreparable damage) and acted like a professional soldier. He was respected by all, mostly importantly and most notably by Grant. He and Grant were two of our greatest soldiers.

    Those old people that gave up so much for the war effort are/were tough sob's...

    My old man was the toughest mudder around..I always knew exactly where I stood and the ramifications if I went off course..

    I remember dove hunting with him...if he saw a flight of birds he call to me...

    "Birds to the south!"

    I would hunker down and watch them get closer and closer...until he would shout..

    "Bust their ***!"

    If I'm limited to one it would be my dad. A guy that was always there for me.

    Hopefully I'll always be there for my kids.

    All 5 of my Mother's brother's/my Uncles, that served in WWII. RIP to all but Uncle Joe since he's still kicking. Uncle Joe was the only one that wasn't a pilot, but made Chief Warrant Officer. My Dad, My step Dad...all of these men had a huge impact in my life.

    The boy just finished his first year, his fiancée graduated college and they are getting married in 2 weeks!

    And for the record, he didn't serve in the military but he is an honorable man
