With Martin Firrell's Hero project currently in the media, our crew decided to ask the public to mention the first thing that pops in their heads when they hear or see the word "hero".

This is the best answer we've got so far:
Quote:

Anyone can be a hero. My image of a hero is someone who places the well being and caring for others above their own needs. Someone who willingly volunteers time, resources, is ethical and honest. Someone others admire, strive to be like and that they look up to. A hero gives much, knowing they may get back little in return. They sacrifice individual gain, keeping in mind the greater good.


Others were listing members of society such as:
* Veterans
Quote:

Today, all of the service members putting their lives on the line for this country.

Retired Military so I have a heart felt opinion.


* Mothers and relatives

* Single parents
Quote:

a single mother striving EVERYDAY to be the best she can be AND making sure her children are the same way...............no BS, no excuses, just doing what NEEDS to be done while maintaining her DIGNITY!!!!


* Firefighters
