These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Doing the right thing when it needs to be done, regardless of opinion, danger, and consequences is difficult. Hats off to these people.

In terms of raw courage, Nathan Bedford Forrest. No armchair general, we have the names of 33 Union officers whom he personally killed in hand to hand combat.

Or Bob Feller and Ted Williams. At the height of their short careers as the best baseball players, probably, in the major leagues, they resigned and enlisted in the military after December 7, 1941.

And if you read the books about what really happened on 9/11, you will find what it means to earn the title of hero. The firemen in New York. One in particular was off duty and in New Jersey. He put on his 60 pounds of gear and ran back through the tunnel, which was blocked by cars, for two miles to Manhattan and ran up one of the towers.

Then there is Flight 93. Visit that place some time. It is a holy and sacred place. There are heroes there, brave ones.

Heroes have nothing to do with sports figures or movie actors.


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

There’s all types of heroes but ball players and entertainers don’t make my list for being really good at their profession. The garbage man who works a tough job day in day out and goes home to a house full of kids and a wife and is a good father and husband is much more of a hero to me than any ball player. Soldiers who take suicide missions so others can escape and survive are heroes to me. I think of all those who slog through terrible and thankless jobs every day to make this world a better place. They’re heroes to me.
