Here is the site.

Who did you pick?

[12th Doctor]

True, but the least you could do is vote.

[12th Doctor]

At anyrate, I selected:

Benjamin Franklin

Lou Gehrig (I wanted an athlete)

Martin Luther King Jr.

Geroge S. Patton

Col. Richard Winters (I figured I would pick a lesser know figure, who was still great.  I choose Winters)

[12th Doctor]

Herbert Hoover

Who could have guessed?

This one is just stupid, though.  Why in the Hell would you pick that idiot?

[12th Doctor]

I didn't choose any Presidents either.

I picked Franklin, because he is a giant of American life.

I picked Gehrig, because I thought he embodied the American spirit in athletics.

I picked King for obvious reasons.

I picked Patton, because I wanted a military leader and thought he was the best.

I picked Winters, because I wanted a lesser known person, who was/is still a great person and role-model.  Winters was truely great MofO or no MofO.

P.S. The only reason Winters was not awarded the Medal of Honor is that there was a quota established for each division during WWII.
