Welcome
Where Have All Our Heroes
Gone?
It seems
that the only time we think of Heroes is when there is a disaster. That’s when
we chant and praise them and even feed them. The people we now say are Heroes
were there doing there job yesterday and the day before and even last year when
we didn’t even notice them. Everyday of their career they are Heroes because
they chose to do a job that most people can’t.
We now praise our Military, they are Heroes patrolling the streets, sky’s and
even waters around our cities.
When these Heroes came back from Vietnam thinking they really were Heroes we
spit on them in their own
country. They didn’t get a parade, they got another fight.
After Vietnam our government decided it wasn’t safe for our military to walk the
streets of their own country in uniform they asked them to leave the military
installations in regular street clothes so they would fit in.
Remember these are our Heroes.
At a minutes notice our Heroes respond to a deadly crisis without even blinking
an eye. When a police officer stops us for doing something wrong we call him a
pig, not a Hero. When we need them and they can’t be found we say "Check the
Donut Shop". These Heroes are greatly underpaid and defiantly overworked, but we
fail to give them a pay raise or new equipment to save lives.
We have volunteer Firefighters and EMS personal all over our country. They are
volunteer so they don’t get
paid. They do it all for free and we don’t call them Heroes, I have heard a lot
of things but not Heroes. We now call them Heroes because they are doing their
jobs. They too were always there doing their job and always have been a Hero!
As Americans we forget how free we really are. We take everything for granted
and forget to pass on core
values to our children, except when disaster hits. We no longer talk to our
neighbors, the mailman, or a person in the street. We no longer say "Hello" or
"Good Morning" to people we don’t know. You no longer go into a neighborhood and
smell the delicious foods cooking in the kitchens.
As Americans we need to take a step back and take another look at our lives, our
children’s lives, and the lives around us. We need to know that there are Heroes
that walk among us each and every day. Some of them are unknown Heroes, some of
them you can see real clear, but still they are Heroes.
People who volunteer their time to help someone or our children are Heroes. They
take the time to do something the rest of us don’t want to. Most people talk to
a Hero a couple of times a week and don’t even know it, because we don’t take
the time to find out.
Each and
every one of us can be a Hero. Do something unexpected for someone. Volunteer to
help a group. Bake Cookies for your elderly neighbors. For more ways to help go
to Pass it On .
Lets not lose our Heroes again.
Remember them everyday in your
prayers and Thank them often.
Remember the unsung Heroes and the
Heroes in all of us.
