Who is Your Hero?

Today there was a Veteran's Day Ceremony at the school I worked at. Different men and women stood up telling us when and where they served our country. Reminding us that, "Freedom is not Free."A teacher stood up at the end with her precious elderly father by her side, holding his hand. Through her tears she told us that her father... was her Hero. The man covered his sweet brave face choked up by his daughters words and honor. Tears were shed and deep appreciation for all those people who have served our country and fought for our freedom. The kids lined up and one by one shook their hands thanking them for all they do. SO simple, yet so meaningful.
So who is your hero? Who has made your life a little brighter, sweeter. Have you told them what a difference they have made in your life? That you appreciate them? Tell them today :)
A hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. - Felix Adler
