Real life heros.....

[Jazzoo]

I've just finished watching The pride of britain awards on tv, for those who have never seen it it's a programme which is on every year and acknowledges real life heros. So it got me thinking (can you hear the cogs turning lol) there are numerous real life heros in the world which deserve recognition.
If you have an hero or heros here is a place where you can give them a little of that recognition with or without them knowing it.
So who is your hero and why?
Or maybe you have a real life story of heroism.

My hero is my big sis because she as been there for me when I needed help and without whom I would not be here today to tell the tale.

All truly deserve recognition but the famous ones such as Mother Teressa and John McCain surely already have that, we already recognise their heroism, don't we? That is  not to say they don't deserve to be recognised where and when possible ofcorse they do.

To dominosarah, thankyou for telling us about your dad, I know how it feels to loose someone so close as I lost my mum to cancer when I was young yet old enough to feel the pain.

My dad.  He fought the hardest fight of his life when he was diagnosed with brain cancer.  The strength and determination he showed thru all of that was just simply amazing and always had a positive attitude.  He made it 10 months.  What an amazing man he was.  I have to go and cry now.           sara

John McCain.  When he was a POW at the Hanoi Hilton and severely tortured on a daily basis he had an oppertunity to get out, they offered him an early release but he said "no there are others who have been here longer than me and I want them to be released".  He stayed and was tortured even more for the next 5 1/2 yrs.
