I never liked the word hero. That doesn't mean heroes don't exist.
One doesn't have to give up their life to be a hero. Or be in a war zone.
Cops and firefighters are everyday heroes somewhere but few take the time to notice.
Lifelong volunteers and those who dedicate their lives to helping those less fortunate and the elderly can be heroes.
I saved the life of a person that was drowning once and another by pulling them out of a car wreck that seconds later exploded into flames. I don't consider myself a hero. Just someone who took the time to realize a threatening situation and acted on it.
My life was saved once. The person who did that is my hero.
I don't like the media glorifying heroes. The media has no right glorifying anything.
I like Hero sandwiches. But they are neither heroes nor anything to be glorified.
