People that risk (or lose) their lives for another are called heroes. Athletes, musicians, or movie stars, are not heroes just because you admire them.

Because the firemen rescued the people who were trapped in the buildings by sacrificing their own lives. The firemen were the true heroes of the United States.

Some of them made calls home before going into the building saying a last goodbye. I think they all knew they were going into an extremely dangerous situation, risking their lives and doing their job to save others.
This is the job they chose and they faced the worst situation with honor and courage. They are the modern day definition of hero.

firefighters in general are heroes and for good reason, they enter a place which THEY ARE AWARE could possibly cause their OWN death to save another human being from death or suffering . Many of these friefighters are young people with families of their own yet they still make this sacrifice to total strangers. last week I saw a firefighter standing out side his firehouse and from my car just shouted over to him."thank you" he looked surprised, because they have no second thought about and they even INTEND putting their lives on the line for total strangers what else would be a hero but that? God Bless them all and thank them all for their selflessness Firefighters the world over are true heroes

After they risked ther lives to save others, they were considered heroes. Not long after people forgot about them. As said by one firefighter, they went from heroes to zeros.

Because they risked their lives to go into the burning towers to save lives. They put others first and I think they deserve to be called heroes.
