A lot of times not even that long.......

It really isn't always so much about bravery as it is about doing what needs to be done rather than taking time to think about it first. An ordinary man doing extraordinary things, is often just a man with his back up against a wall, doing what he has to do to protect his buddies and family.

A hero is anyone who when found in an urgent situation chooses to react rather than spectate, usually resulting in the saving of a life/lives and a calming feeling that he did something when something needed doing.

We've tossed about the word "hero" so freely in our society today, that it's just about lost it's true meaning
