My hero is Chet. Mr. Chet was like a second dad to me. He was a proud member of the National Air Guard. He would put down and sacrifice anything for his country, even his life. I looked up to him as a hero. On that day in 2006, a helicopter went down in Iraq. He was among the crew on the helicopter. When he passed, his wife called my mom and told her. My mom told our family. It took me a month to get over the pain. He was such a good influence on me, I have decided to join the air guard myself and serve my country.
