Someone who helps win the war. Like a general. Who's plan works. A hero is a person that joins the military. In the military everyone is a hero.

Courage is a major thing that makes a hero. I have some family members that are in the military. They were not really that important, like one was just a cook and another was someone who just worked on a boat. But they still served their country and have been honored.

A hero doesn't mean they have to be in the milatary. They could be a firefighter, a police officer, S.W.A.T. aka Special Wepons Attack Team, or just a doctor or nurse. Heros help us in all differnt types of ways, like some help grannies cross the road others save people from a burrning building. Most people think all heros are in the milatary which a lot are, but like i said befor heros can be firefighters, police officers, S.W.A.T. personel. Hope you like my post!!!!!! write back!

A hero is someone who helps another person. It doesn't have to be a person that fought in a war, it could be anybody! I have been a hero. One time, my sister went into the bathroom,locked the door and then couldn't figure out how to unlock it. She started screaming so we ran to the bathroom to see what was going on. My parents couldn't get her out, but I helped her and she got out. If you help someone out, you can be a hero!

Heroes can be anyone. For example, a hero can be someone who is just helping a senior cross the street. Heroes are special in many ways. For example U.S. military people are special because they help by fighting for our country so other citizens don't die. The greatest hero in my eyes is my dad because one time we went river rafting and he pulled me out of the way from hitting big branches which almost killed me.

A hero doesn't have to be somebody who died in a war. It could be someone who serves others. In my church there is a little girl who has a major health problem. Families from our church visit the hospital and bring presents but they also bring dinner to them when they are going through a hard time. Being brave and fearless to help somebody is being a hero.

A hero to me is someone who stands up for himself and for his country.He is someone who fight in battles and wars. A hero is a strong and brave person who is always ready to face any danger. A person can become a hero if he is courageous and determined. Every one respects and honors a hero.

A hero is someone who helps people out. People in the military are heroes. Firefighters are heroes. An individual can become a hero by helping others in large or small ways. Police officers are heroes. Some people think that heroes are just in the military. Now,I'm not saying that's wrong,I'm just saying those aren't the only heroes.People in the CIA(central intelegence agency)are heroes too.

I think if someone saves someone’s life from danger that they can be a hero. There are lots of heroes like the army, navy, police, firemen, nurses, and doctors. A hero is someone who helps someone that really needs help. You have to be brave to help someone. If you are selfish person, you would not be a good hero. Heroes do for other people even if it means they miss out on things in their own lives.

A lot of people think that hero's have to fight, not all do! A hero i think is cool is people that work in hospitals. It dose not seem scary but it can be. If you mess one thing up it can hurt someone badly. If you help someone at home your a hero. So go around your house and help family and you will be a hero to them.

A hero can be anybody. If you have courage and you are helpful, kind, and considerate, you can be a hero. Examples: helping a blind person cross the street, looking after a pet wile it's owners are out of town, or even just comferting somebody when they're sad. You can also be a hero if you work as a policeman, a firefighter, a docter, etc. You are also a hero if you are in the army, navey, marines, costgard,etc. See, a hero doesn't need to have a certian job.

All heroes don't just save the world.Some heroes are in the Armies,Navies and the Airforce. The Armies protect country from the land.The Navies protect the water in our country.Also the Airforce protect the air.All these heroes risk thier lives to protect our country and our world!

A hero doesn't have to be someone who saves the world. A hero doesn't have to have supernatural abilities. A hero doesn't have to win the war. A hero can be anyone. A hero IS anyone. A hero is that ant who fought off the nasty beetle and saved his colony. A hero is your brother who caught your arm so you didn't fall and break you leg. Heroism is bravery. A hero IS anyone.

A hero can be anyone. For instance, if someone was bullying me and my brother came over and said "quit it!", he would be a hero to me. Or if I was severely allergic to bees and someone swatted one next to me, they would be a hero. Heros come in all shapes, sizes, and skin color. So be a hero to someone!

A hero is someone who helps other people. They're willing to risk their life to save someone else's. They will help people in need. An individual can become a hero for serving their country or helping people in need. That's what a hero is to me.

To be a hero it takes courage to take risk to help people. There are different way's to be a hero and my favorite one's the " Special Forces"serve in the military and the police force " Swat ". My grandfather was a military police officer and is a retired Los Angeles Police Officer. He is a great hero to me!

Courage and kindness makes anyone a hero. You can be a hero just by standing up for someone, helping them when they can't do something. Sometimes you are a hero in the eyes of someone else and you don't even know it. You can't be selfish to be a hero though, you always have to be willing to help and share, and forget your own needs no matter what. Men and women in the military are heroes for being willing to die to protect us and our country at any time. That takes a lot of courage and responsibility. My dad and I always go to the Memorial Day Parade on Memorial Day.

A hero is a person who is willing to help someone and someone who will fight for what they believe in. A person in the war can be a hero, a doctor or nurse can be a hero, a police man can ne a hero, anyone can be a hero. I think that someone that is a true hero is someone that stays behind when a person gets hurt even if they are in a dangerous situation because they would rather have themselves get hurt of injured then somebody else. Also, anybody that is brave and that will stand up for somebody, I think is a hero. A hero doesn't have to be somebody that is rich, a hero can be a person that is super poor and a person who might not have a home, as long as they stay true to themselves and don't be mean, everyone can be a hero. So try to start being a hero to anyone!

When I think of a hero, I think of someone who is willing to help others. A hero is confident in his or herself and the decisions they make. Someone becomes a hero by helping others, sharing kindness and sometimes risking their safety to save people. Heros are brave. I think the people that served in wars are heros.

Brady L. said...

Being a hero doesn't mean having superpowers and saving the world every day. It means putting others before themselves.Everyone in the armed forces is a hero because they put their country before themselves. People who help build houses for the less fortunate are heroes too!I think Memorial Day is a holliday much deserved by all the heroes out there. That's what I think makes someone a hero.

A hero helps people. They will even risk their lives for dogs or cats even. A hero tries to achieve world peace. He would fight in wars and protect the citizens of his homeland.That is what a hero is
