I think a hero is somebody that helped people and was brave about it. The people on 9-11 were heros, and there are more heros that saved innocent people. What do you think are the qualities that makes a person a true hero? Discuss it here.

Oh you have hit on one of my bug bears, yes you are right a hero is someone quite special, some one who risks his or her own life to safe others, and this name hero should be reserved for them only and not given out to football players and rock stars which is happening a lot these days, it really gets me so angry when I see a sports star called a hero....a hero is someone so very special....
