To define a hero is a never ending task because there a so many levels of heroism.
We all have the potential to be heros in our own way (yes even you)! Everybody needs to be saved at some point in their life.
Do I consider myself a hero?
I have charged an enemy position to rescue a fellow soldier who had risked his life to save two small girls from the crossfire and taken alot of damage to myself in the process....does that make me a hero?
I have given first-aid to a pregnant women injured in an car accident....does that make me a hero?
I take my elderly neighbor to the doctor's office because she can't see well enough to drive....does that make me a hero?
Those people have called me a hero.
Do I believe that I am a hero?
No...I don't believe that I am a hero, I'm just a regular man who doesn't know how to not help a person in need on any level.
There are many oppurtunities everyday for everyone to be a hero on some level....look around.
