Are you suggesting that to improve how "American" we are we should all wear tight red,white, and blues pandex and carry a sheild around?

I hope so, because I have nothing else to do with my spandex suits:D

Most American is any man who is proud of all things that will bring about his end. That is most American.

Jimmy Stewart is the man. I love the movie "Strategic Air Command"   All those shots of the B-36 Peacemaker and the B-47 Stratojet. Classic Cold War film.

We had a B-47 on "the stick" in the city park in Altus OK where I grew up. Sits on the corner of Broadway, and Park Lane on the NW side of the intersection. I used to love going up and looking at that plane when I was growing up there. It's still there to this day. Also had a Minuteman Missle on "the stick" at the local little leauge ball fields on the south side of town. We called it Missile park growing up.

I would say that John Wayne made a great symbol of an American.

As to who the most American is, there is no one person. The ones who typify at you can't talk to. They are in small plots in various countries including home. There are some who are still living, some who are serving now and some who will serve later. They are those that put themselves in harms way for the defense of strangers. They are in a variety of uniforms but they are serving in one manner or another. This is not limited to the Military and can and does include civilians.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

You also forgot Commander Robert Montgomery, USNR.


He was the uncredited director of They Were Expendable. When John Ford became ill he personally asked Montgomery to take over.
It was his debut as director. Argueably his finest work.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
