        Hi Daisy, Thanks for your tu. What I would like to know is whether or not the wives and children are adequately taken care of financially, and if not, is there a fund where one could make a small donation? Thank you.

                No, wait you hit on two types! Now you need to find a mathematical and you will have all three!You always go for the best!

                      All those brave and heroic NYFD  firemen of 9/11.  I often think about them and their loved ones they left behind. I just cannot describe my emotions I go through whenever any footage is shown on TV.

                                  So MANY choices, but at this time, such an interesting period and such an interesting individual, I would say Winston Churchill.  SO much history in the balance!   Would love to have  been a fly on the wall, to say the least!

                                    Clara Barton. She was a nurse during the Civil War and actually the founder of the American Red Cross. She was my hero when I was a little girl ... and she still is. Her life's story is inspiring.

                                          I would tend to agree with winfia. Legends and "characters" are most often originally based on a real-life person, though it may become contorted over time, as much history does.
