Jimmy Stewart ... he was a war hero, did not brag, and he stayed himself, did not become some hollywood type. He was unique.
Mahatma Gandhi ... he was brave enough and dared to stand up for the rights of others. He was also a smart man. He did not close his eyes to what was going on around him.
Scientists/Dr.s and their teams that worked to find the cure for different things. Example Banting and Best for finding insulin to help diabetics. (only they have a plaque and have paid tribute to the animals that were used to find a cure. Sorry animal rights activists but they are the only ones that did acknowledge the animals that helped them find insulin.)
I've always admired Great/Good dancers/ and painters because they had the talent, did the hard work/sacrifice to get to be as good as they are. They had the belief in themselves and were not afraid of what it took to be as good as they are.
My Mother because she taught me more about looking after special needs kids, gave up so much to look after them. What it took to keep her marriage going, raise us, work full time, do community work, and never did anything and expected to be thanked or acknowledged for it. She has many qualities I have come to admire and wish I had.

I can not forget people like Harry Patch, my grandparents (one grandmother and both grandfathers) who fought in the wars, or people in history that made a difference so we could live the life of freedom we have compared to others.
Love him or hate him ... Pierre Elliot Trudeau ... he was different from so many politicians.
