Following the events of September
11, 2001, nearly all Americans and most people around the world
began reevaluating the meaning of a hero. That day made the world
stop and realize that there are heroes among us.
Everyday there are people who risk their lives to save strangers.
They include firefighters, policemen and women, emergency medical
personnel and everyday people who stumble upon the scene of an
accident. In light of the September 11, 2001 tragedies, our hereos
have changed to include those who on a daily basis risk their
lives for the lives of others. The stories of these heroes in action,
those on the scene the day America and the
world will never forget, are real and touching. This site is a
tribute to them, our heros.
