Why I think William George Barker became a War Hero

Mar 12, 1930

I think William George Barker became a war hero because he has done many wonderful things, he won about 50 wars he didn’t give up on any wars he had been in, he has hope that he would be successful. Best of all he was fighting for his country and everyone, and because of that today people are still alive.
