A hero?? I don't know because heroes don't exactly in any way excite me with their amount of gusto and aplomb that their all believed to have. I don't believe this at all i just think most heroes (not all!!) do the heroic acts they do not for the person or things benefit but for themselves to be conspicuous. I am going to say that there are some people that come to me as a real hero, and those people are veterans of our country and others. They go out of the comfort of their home and families to go into war and fight or go do things with no guarantee at all to live. They leave their worlds to go to a world of anger, hate, debris, and DEATH. Out of everybody in the world, and everybody that calls themselves a hero I think these are the real ones. The ones that fight for us not for fame or fortune but with a passionate heart and a risk of death. That is one of the many reasons I am very proud of my father and what he did and proud to say he is still with me and my family and I am sorry and pray for those who have lost ones in war, the army, air force, or any type of event.

I agree with you. Your editorial proves that in our society we sensationalize the term hero too much and for the wrong reasons. I agree that our armed forces or civil serveants (such as police) are the true heroes and we do not give them enough credit. The fact that they will risk their lives to fight for what they believe in makes the heroes you described Warrior heroes. I believe these are the most selfless people on the planet. Thank you for so eloquently stating your opinion. Excellent writing.
