True American Heroes

[HARDCORE]

2-16-2021

A great deal can be said about “America’s Heroes”, much of it true, but often over-accentuated by a zealous fervor and a need to make a mammoth and historical production out of the gallant actions of those who truly went above and beyond what was normally expected of any mortal man!

“But who is to say for sure what really constitutes a hero, and just how many men and women were, in every sense of the word, truly worthy of inclusion within their ranks?”

“BUT FOR THE GRACE AND THE BLESSINGS OF THE ALMIGHTY!!”

(*) A true hero is someone who does something heroic for the benefit of others. For the benefit of someone other than themselves. Which doesn't mean that a hero can't benefit from his or her own heroism. But their deed or act or performance or accomplishment is not primarily for their own benefit.

What is the hero of a story?

There are three types of protagonists: heroes, anti-heroes, and villain protagonists. A hero is someone we can all relate to, and his downfall will fill us with pity and fear. The hero is the “good guy”—the type of virtuous protagonist the audience roots for and wants to succeed.

(*) My thoughts relate to my Relative(s) - Hero's one and all. All served in the military and all are now gone. I would listen to their stories and how things were way back then and how they had to struggle thru poor times and wars. How they had to grow their own food and how Nana would fix or mend their cloths. Their struggle and stories made me proud of them and I learned many things from them - and I miss them "all" and their stories.
Those were my hero's - they came with nothing and built a life and Family and the men fought for our Country starting with WW1 thru WWII & Korea. As did my Brother and I did in VN - whom later died from AO. I feel my family are my Hero's - I'm but footnote telling you of my Hero's!
