I think what makes someone a hero is when someone does something great. Sometimes they risk there lives to help us. They do it to help us. They are a hero because their dedication to help us is unforgetable. Thats what I think makes someone a hero.

I think what makes them a hero. They risk there lives for us. The reason why we have this day is because they
fought to save are lives. They could of died well some of them in the U.S. Military. They didn't even have to do this but they said to them self it will be better for the U.S.

A hero may be someone who puts there life on the line for others. A hero could also be someone who motivates others. What makes some heroes so special is they fight for our country to protect the U.S. They may also motivate you to do your best . They could be someone you look up to who is successful in life. A hero is someone who puts there life on the line for others. A hero could also be someone who motivates someone.

I think a hero is when somebody risks there lives to helps you.
Also a hero is to me ( not a super hero) but a person who does a realy good deed for another person. I think how a individual can become a hero if they swave your life or for example in new town how the janitor ran through the halls letting peo[le that there is a dangerousperson inside. A hero can also be a person that tries his best to protect other people. That is what I think a hero is.

Clearly a hero is someone who loves people. Cares and look out for people. It could be a duo or a person working
Them self. That mean you could be a hero too. You can be a hero by just doing what's right.

A hero is someone who is willing to give their lives to the United States of America. A hero is someone who does good to people. They help people and care for them and make sure they are doing all right. Some heroes help our community. The Army and the Navy are some of the heroes that help our Country. They are the ones who risk there lives for us. There are LOTS of heroes in the world.

What makes someone a hero is that there lives or go out of their way to help others. My grandpa was in the Navy and he was always willing to help. Also, Heroes are a big part of why USA is the USA. I also think that heroes aren’t just super heroes like spider man there normal people who do good things for us. My grandpa passed away but when I think of him, I think of him as my hero!

A hero chooses to be a hero by sacraficing themselves to help others. To be a hero is to be who you are.You can be a hero if you want to be . You dont have to be popular or cute to be a hero you be a hero.Anyone can be a hero.

I think a hero is a person who saves other people`s lives. Also a hero can be a person who does something famous or has courage and risk`s his or her life for another person. Heroes are fighting all around the world to protect their country. Some heroes are caring for others and loving. Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine, Coast Guard, and National Guards are fighting right now to save our country and they are all heroes.

What makes someone a hero is that the person is brave and fights for our country. I believe that anyone can be a hero by helping people. When you set an example by helping others, that's being a hero. Choosing to do what is right, even when it's hard, is another way to be a hero. So I think that anyone can be a hero.

A hero to me is someone who is brave. A person can become a hero by fighting in a war. A lifeguard is usually brave when he or she saves people from drowning. Policemen and firefighters are heroes fighting crimes or saving people. Maybe you will be a hero someday.

A hero to me is someone who sacrifice their lives to save Other peoples lives. A hero is also like someone who stands up for Other people, like the people in The US Military.
A Indivisual can be come a hero by doing little things that make a big difference. A example to become a hero is to help pick up trash to help the earthsurface. A Other example is to do something good that you did not do but You help put away paints or something. That is how a indival becomes a hero.

Their should be more Hero's in this country. A hero is a person who is/was fighting for our country. Also, a hero is a person who risked their lives for other people. In addition, a hero is someone who died in a war. Finally, a hero is someone who served our country. We should honor hero's.

A hero can be someone who saves people from getting killed,getting a scratch or bruises, or even help from getting robed. When I think of the word hero I think of someone who sacrifice's their life because of helping someone else. Also a hero could be your mom, always their for you, always answering all your questions, and loving you at every second. Two of my Grandpa's were in the military. One in the Navy and one in post guard. I l.o.v.e. love that we have hero's in the world.

In my opinion everyone who served in the Military is a hero, but those whom put their lives in the line of others. Or risk their lives for our freedom. Those people should be known as the brave people that helped save our country. A hero could be serving in a community, or in our state, or in our country. Heros help people and motivate them. A hero does not have to be in the Military, but they could be! Heros make a BIG difference and are very helpful. My dad is in the U.S Army and he loves serving for our country. He does not get paid and he is not forced to do his duty, but he loves what he does. Heros are amazing people and I hope my dad stays one forever. :)

I think that a hero is someone who will dedicate their life for a good cause. Another example of a hero is someone who risks their lives for someone else. But not just the people in the military are heroes, like to me my parents are heroes because their always there for me. They would probably risk their lives for me. That is how much they love me. That is what I think a hero is

Jake said...

A hero is someone who helps people anyway. how someone can help some like saving there cat stuck in a tree or washing there car. You don't have to save someone's live or kill a bad guy to be a hero.
