I am uncomfortable with the term hero so liberally applied. Some are heroic, some are just people killed while doing their job. It kind of feels like giving everyone who played in the little league baseball game a trophy so nobody feels left out.
I do, however, agree with the honouring those killed in war and support the sorts of demonstrations that are occurring along the Highway of Heroes (despite the name).
