What makes a hero?

What makes a hero?
By Doe Zantamata

A hero is someone who has given of themselves solely to benefit someone else.

Some choose professions for that reason, and go way beyond what they are ever expected to do.

Because of them, someone in the world can say, "my life is better because of you." A parent, a teacher, a friend. An animal rescuer, veteran, firefighter, police officer, doctor, nurse, veterinarian, or advocate....heroes come in many forms, walking among us every day.

Take time to thank your heroes. Let them know that what they do matters to you.
