What relative of yours most inspired you and changed your life? Your Grandparent? Aunt or Uncle? Mother or Father? Who, if any, inspired you and gave you life lessons that helped get you to where you are today? What did they tell you or how did they inspire you? Share a photo if you have one.

My Grandfather although I was very young when he passed away (5 yrs old) he left a long life impression of how to treat people and make a positive out of a negetive situation.

My father, he never stopped trying to teach all the skills he has learned over the years and now that I'm in the military he tries to pass on his knowledge of the military including tips on how some things work. He never left anyone behind and always is willing to help someone out, so I try to follow that example to this day.

My father was a man of integrity, worked hard and treated everyone with compassion and respect. I hope and strive to live up to his standard.
