“He who dies with the most toys wins.”

Or should it be; “He who dies with a saved soul wins.”?

Only he knows the answer to that question now.

hero?..... he doesn't believe in God.....he believes that everything was achieved simply by him, no one else....started Micron?. hardly......he invested in two geniuses.....he shot what are now protected wild horses and feed them to hogs.. probably for absolutely no money......he took advantage of teachers and cashed in on their pay.....if WW2 didn't happen....he'd have never made his fortune....

he's no hero....he sounds hard working...he sounds like he's a full bore kind of guy.....that's to his credit...

did he serve in the military or has any of his sons served the military?.....I think the answer is "no".....

no God and no country to serve.....no, he is not a hero....
