All of the Astronauts from Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia. Include John Glenn as well. And Alan Shepard. Hell, include all of the Mercury 7 as well. As well as Von Braun (although that one might be too controversial but fuck it, there is no evidence that he was a willing Nazi).

John Wayne - especially since it looks like they will remove the statue from John Wayne Airport.

FWIW, my suggestions: Nikola Tesla (he HAS to be here. Tesla was one of the greatest human beings of all time) Elvis Presley Jesse Owens Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp, & company Ernest Hemingway Bob Kelso Joe Delaney Dave Thomas Johnny Cash

And many, many more. There are so many great heroes of America and American culture that the list could go on forever....

Robert Johnson, yes! That man was mysterious with a capital M and it is a shame that more recordings of him and his music don't exist. Member of the 27 club and wrote and performed Crossroads before Clapton made money off it.

Oh, and we got to put Jimi in there, too. Yes, yes, he was a flawed man and did some bad things that many people allege but he was a great man regardless and he showed us that there is a lot of static in the air, man.

Anyone who rocks the Star Spangled Banner is a hero as far as I'm concerned.

Like I said, we would have over a thousand people on the list and it still wouldn't be complete. And yes, Teddy needs to be one of the first.
