My Hero

    My hero is my grandfather, Richard A. Gauvin.  He was a Chief Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force.  Which is the highest enlisted rank. He worked in a program in the Air Force called AMMO. What the AMMO's do is pack all the bombs and missiles on to the planes. Also, if you hadn't noticed, I was named after him! I chose my grandpa for my hero because he has served in the air force for over 20 years! I think it would be awesome if I grew up like him in the Air Force. He had passed away about a year before I was born, and since then there has been a memorial dedicated, websites made for him, and he is even remembered by staying at punchbowl memorial in Honolulu. Although we never met face to face I know he is my hero for all that he has done throughout his lifetime. My grandfather means so much to me, I would love to just tell him thank you for all the things he has done for me, my family, and our country.
       I think all heroes should be caring towards you and all other people. He or she should be a very generous person towards everyone. They should have done something great for you, your family, or even your country. Your hero should inspire you to do something important or successful for not only yourself, but helpful to others too. Heroes should be wise and fulfilling in their lifestyle. Also, a hero needs to be brave. A hero must be able to handle scary or stressful situations.
       My grandfather carries all of those traits. He cares for all other people. He inspired me to want to be in the Air Force. He is very brave. Plus, he served our country for over 20 years. I love my grandfather very much and hope I can be just like him someday. I hope I can serve my country, serve in the Air Force, and most importantly I want to make my grandfather proud to have me as his name sake, Richard Gauvin.
