Hi there! As someone who loves history, I would suggest: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, J.F.K, General Patton, Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks. Two of them because they fought for human rights (Rosa Parks and Martin L. King), Roosevelt for his role - as a president during WWII - Patton for his leadership and huge impact during the WWII and JFK - also for his role as a president of The US. Hope this helps.

@ edit: not sure if American citizens agree...just my opinion.

I would choose Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Edison. Their inventions, innovations, and discoveries paved the way for modern conveniences. |
