Heroes aren't sports stars, website owners, con chairs, artists, etc. Heroes are people who risk and sacrifice their comfort, safety, and sometimes very lives for someone else. They don't do it for praise, reward, or to stand in the spotlight. They do it because their heart knows it's the right thing to do.
