 "Ulysses
S. Grant
was a true hero in private as well as in public.
He was our first civil rights President. He cared
about the Indians and the freed slaves. The Treaty
of Washington (1871) is mostly his work, though
he's never gotten enough credit for it. It settled
claims against Britain, and more important, it established
neutrality and international arbitration to avoid
war. This become the foundation for the World Court
and League of Nations. My favorite Grant web site
is the Ulysses
S. Grant Network."
- Nancy W. from Newark, Ohio

E. Lee
is my hero. He was an all around great person. Of
course, he was a brilliant general and strategist
during the Civil War. He was also a very honorable

and he graduated at the top of his class."

 "Florence
Nightingale
is my hero. I bought the Florence bear because my
mom is a nurse. And then I read a biography about
Florence Nightingale. The more I read about her
life, the more amazed I became. She was absolutely
an extraordinary, incredible, helpful, caring, and
beautiful person. I wish I had known her in person,
and I am very appreciative that I now know about
her."

them as parents. I love you Mom and Dad!!!" -- Carol
