Who is a hero to YOU?

Question

Barbaro definitely was a hero, not only to me, but to the entire horse industry in this country. I have worked for years in that business- I know how cutthroat and nasty it can sometimes be. This horse didn't have to fight an unjustified war, kill people, or commit other atrocious acts- and he was still a hero to many people. I don't know what defines a hero to this person who called the colt and his owners stupid, but I will say that you have a lot of problems yourself if you believe that they were. I also have to wonder what your opinion of Barbaro's trainer, Michael Matz, is. Now there's a REAL hero- and don't forget, he's also a lifesaver ( though he didn't perform his heroic act on 9/11) who walked into fire and came out alive and well on the other side. If you want to call people stupid, that's your perogative- just be careful who's on the receiving end of your comments.

Answer 1

Barbaro was a horse. He was a good, beautiful race horse who had an accident and had to be put down. How does that make him a hero?? The heros are the humans defending our freedom, not a mammal that can run fast. My dog barks at stray animals that come around the house...does that make her a hero? Nope.

Answer 2

My hero is my husband and all the other veterans. My husband has served two tours to Iraq. I know people who will soon be leaving for their 4th & 5th tours.

Answer 3

all military, police, firefighters, doctors and nurses who place their lives on the line everyday so we can enjoy the freedom and safety we have. remember all gave some and some gave all to protect and defend us. we need to consider each one a hero.
