My hero is SPC. Vanderhaeghen of the U.S. Army. No matter the problems going on in his own life, be it training, family problems, or even deployment, he has always been there for me. He was the only person able to help me through countless difficult times. He is in Afghanistan now, and even from across the world, he is the best friend a person could have. He is my hero, today and every day that he risks his life for all of us here.
