If asked to name a person, many of us would name the characteristics that make a person more capable, intelligent, kinder, and more than the average human being. They are the people who give when they have nothing to give. Heroes perform before anyone else realizes there's a problem. They volunteer to bring someone else before them.

Our heroes may be the first responders who save us from a dangerous situation. They may be a parent or a tutor, for example. Heroes lead us through their examples as role models and heroes... They live their lives in such a way that we're proud to know them and eager to follow their example.

And heroes, real-life heroes, are rarely acknowledged. Because of this, National Hero Day encourages you to recognize the heroes in your life. That's why National Hero Day is so important.

Heroes All Around Us Some wear uniforms, like Christy McIntosh of Pensacola, FL, who served in the United States Army Reserves. The United States Army Reserves has a uniform. Or like high-school football player Zac Clark of Ohio, whose quick thinking and determination lifted a Volkswagen off of his neighbor, saving his life.

We can't decide or lead a healthier life because of other heroes. They may do this by their words, like Jim Cook of Oklahoma, who wrote to columnist Jim Priest, who told him a little bit about character and love. A true-life hero may take us on a journey we can only imagine taking.. Dr. Garrett Reisman, a former NASA astronaut and engineer who later joined SpaceX, is a NASA astronaut and engineer who later joined SpaceX.

Other than hero makes life happen. Some heroes go to great lengths to get a job done, whether it's filling a need or making the impossible happen. For example, Donald Harris of New Jersey, who by day was a real estate manager by day, responded to Santa via the United States Postal Service's Letters to Santa service at Christmastime, but not before Christmastime. The father's life was made simpler by enlisting his associates in buying a townhouse for the family at a much cheaper price.

Heroes come in many forms, as you can see. They rescue us, inspire us, and, most importantly, they believe in us.
