Your Everyday Hero: Stephan H.

Stephan passed away on April 15, 2004. He was not only the best grandfather ever; he was the most educated person I ever met. He changed my life so many ways; I could never thank him enough. He always had the answer. He was not only book smart, he was life smart. My grandfather retired from the United States Air Force and was in WWII. He was the most amazing man and will never be forgotten. He gave everything to everyone. He loved his family and was the rock core of our universe. He built me a library with over 600 books, shelves and all. He organized them and made a catalog system. He was so amazing. He knew everything. He would make bets that we could not find him to be wrong. He always won! He was and always will be my hero. Not only for America, but for me!
