Couldn't agree with this post more. Want to see what a real hero looks like? Guy named Col. Robert L. Howard died in 2009. He was an Army Special Forces soldier in Viet Nam. Nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor (rules say you can only have it awarded once) three times. Distinguished Service Cross (2nd highest award), multiple Silver Stars (3rd highest award), multiple Bronze Stars (4th highest award), 8 Purple Hearts. Why and how? Doing his job, saving his buddies without putting himself first. You can go to a tribute web site and see a short video on this man. It's at www.rlhtribute.com And maybe another hero is the politiciian who will not vote for a piece of legislation that he/she knows is bad for their constituents and, in the face of "deals" offered, still says no based on principle, not politics, pork or purse. There's a few around but damn hard to find these days. That's my story and I'm stickiing to it. Your definition is exactly right Dennis. Couldn’t agree with this post more.
