It seems to me that the media has again struck a blow to those people who are really exceptional by watering down yet another meaningful word in our language. Today, heroes are a dime a dozen, and the word is used so often that it's former definition has become lost to many. Thanks, once more to our media for taking one more admirable asset from our culture and beating it to dust. I'm sure all of our war heroes, those rare people who intentionally saved at great cost to themselves, and were not just innocent victims of random violence, will really stand out to the young kids of our country now. About as much as the "hero" who galliantly rescued the family of ducks on that dangerous road.

I thought a hero was a sandwich

a war hero in my eyes is more of a hero than some one who saved some ducks. the war hero is fighting for you to be able to say what ever it is you just said. the duck hero just saved 6 ducks.

Iam sure everyone has their own definition of "hero".....who you think is a real hero, I might not!

I know what you mean. A lot of words have lost their meaning in today's society.
