No one has mentioned the “Father of the Constitution”, James Madison. In addition to many of the names already listed, he ranks among the greatest Americans.

We would never have had the United States without George Washington.

He is so far in first place that he is laps around any choice for number 2.

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a Marxist at heart. So I’m going with a very underrated Marxist, Chico Marx.

I’m partial to John Leland of Virginia. He cut a deal with Madison that most likely led to us NOT having a “state church”.

Audie Murphy, you just beat me to it.

An American Rambo if there was one. He was a badass.

To: waterhill; Phinneous
Jesus
George Washington
John Adams

All those places named after them too, even in the same spot!

Say Phinneous, you ever notice that "Washington" [וושינגטון] begins with vav-shin, the letters that are the USA in JerUSAlem [ירושלים]?

Just thought I'd mention it. How about that Residence Act, eh? Talk about timing.

It's like those posters that went up on account of the US embassy move:

"Discover the story. Embrace the connection."

I agree.
