I think everyone has acts of heroism within them and given the right set of circumstances we could be hero's once in our lifes..

I think that would depends on your age group and possible back ground.
I'm sure most teens would say thier favourite popstar, cant exactly call most of them heroes though.
For me It would be the doctors and nurses on the front line doing a job with very little pay.
politicians would be so far down on my list you would never get there :haha:

Most definently those who save lives.
I think the definition of a hero is a very personal thing. What maybe for someone, might not be for someone else.
If someone inspires you to the point you want to change or emulate that person in some way. For instance sports people or popstars, in my eye, don't really do anything 'heroic'....... but if they have the capacity and personality to inspire someone into changing, into trying, into making an effort, into making their life all the better, then they must be heroic in their eyes.
The person who without a second thought will risk danger to help someone else - so many times you see them talk afterwards and say they just done it, they didn't think, an adrenalin thing. Is it heroic or nature? To the person who was saved, I'm sure it was totally and utterly heroic, to people who witnessed the act or heard about it, it was heroic.
My mum and dad - the biggest heros in my life :inlove: I adore them, I wanna be just like them..... but could never be, cos they're just amazing. Their strength of character and nature and softness of their love and understanding, one hell of a combination, and that's on top of the things they do, both the little and big things they do for their family, always have done, without a second thought :inlove: More than likely they wouldn't be 'heros' in general to many others, hence why I think it's quite a personal choice.
I wasn't going to name my kids as 'heros' - but I've just been thinking, and they totally are in my eyes :inlove: Why, cos they also inspire me hugely. Their characters and personalities they've developed on their own is nothing short of incredible, they're gorgeous. Little actions and thoughtfulness, like my parents, they do without a second thought. They way they enjoy life, get the most out of things, not just big 'events' but also watching them marvel at a spider sorting out its web n stuff like that. They inspire me to want to be like my parents even more..... mini heros?
Or just pure unconditional love that makes me look at them like mini heros??

Though the people in the OP's list have my absolute respect and gratitude I think that heroes are more specific. Heroism to me is achieved by individual acts by individual people.

They all make the system work are they included?
my heroes are those that inspire me on a daily basis. It isn't a specific group of people. It is individuals that are, to me, inspirational and heroic. It can be a person who happens to be a pop star or who happens to be a sports person.. but it isn't their celebrity that makes them heroic to me it is the challenges they may have faced on the way to their celebrity that makes them heroic.
My son will always be my hero, for much the same reasons that Missy has cited her own children. In addition to Missy's sentiments it is also because my son continues to learn and grow at such a rate of knots that I am constantly amazed at how versitile he is. He was raised by me and only he and I know how challenging that has been
There are many heroes in my life. I have learnt from them through their books, others through their words on here, others through heresay or actions I have observed and learnt from.

It mentions :- Chivalry, Gallantry and Loyalty.
Nowhere does it mention "Hero".
I am not a Hero and never will be. I (we) done our job to the best of our abilities and prayed we got it right. In most cases we did (with the help of God).

The three highlighted above seem good to me..the bottom two not really. A politician a hero? Now the only thing they know about saving, are their sorry arses.
These are mine:
1.:
Seeing Usain Bolt win the 100 Meters
at the recent Beijing Olympics was amazing.
I have friends who's family live in Jamaica.
The entire island forgot about the
Murders & Poverty when Bolt did that.
It was like watching a Super-Hero,
how fast can a person go?
I have to admit I was like a child going
crazy when we won. It was just the
manner how he did it.
It uplifted me & gave the entire world a
new hero.
