Who Is Worthy of Receiving a Speech of Tribute?

Question by clerick145: Who is worthy of receiving a speech of tribute?

I’m looking for something different than everybody else talking about someone in their family with drug addiction or other cliche stuff. I want something interesting and appealing to most people.
