What’s a Hero? Heroes come in all shapes, sizes, agaes, and Male or Female. They are everyday people in our communities and society.

The label Herp is given to someone for many reasons. The first thing comes to mind are acts of bravery on the battlefield; a Police Officer in the line of duty; a Firefighter pulling someone from a burning or building.

The word Hero is a very complex term and it has evolved over time. A Hero can be someone whom inspires others to do a common good for themselves and others in their community.

One that sets high standards for himself or herself. Someone who’s deeds and accomplishments are worthy of praise by others.

One that overcame tremendous odds against them and inspired others to do the same. They are people whom are not afraid to stand up for what they believe is right.

Someone whom helps when the benefit and praise is knowingly going to someone else. Soldiers whom chose to defend our country while knowing and understanding that they may not survive their journey of service to their Country.
