[QUOTE="ronny, post: 2897199, member: 8853"] Hero is an overworked word. Having said that, I consider "hero" a descriptive word that comes in two degrees. Anyone who puts himself/herself in a position where they are subject to laying it all on the line for others is a hero just by being willing to do it. Soldier, firemen, cops, etc. all qualify as heroes of that order in my book. Most will never find themselves in that situation, but it could easily happen. Although I think the word applies, I don't think they deserve to be addressed as such without some qualifying event. That probably won't make sense to some. The next level would be when those folks, or anyone else, actually finds themselves in that position and does the necessary, whatever the outcome. They're earned the designation. Just sayin'.
