Unsung Heroes

The word hero is often misused and misinterpreted. A hero is someone who is brave, honorable and willing to risk their life for the life of others. A hero is not someone who swings in from a tall building, or flies through the city using superpowers and fancy gadgets. This is what we mistakenly feel how a hero should look and act. One example of a real hero is a United Sates Marine. A marine risks his life every time he goes out to battle. A marine does this all the time giving it everything he’s got expecting nothing in return. Although, in the movies, comics and cartoons a hero never dies. But there are real heroes dying everyday for all of us. Heroes seem to go unnoticed even though they do amazing for us without us even noticing. True heroes don’t wear tights, masks and capes. True heroes are all around us and always working to keep us safe.
