On December 29th, National Hero Day honors the people we look up to and who
inspire us to be the best person we can possibly be. Heroes' Day or National
Heroes' Day may refer to several commemorations of national heroes in different
countries and territories. It is often held on the birthday of a national hero or
heroine, or the anniversary of their great deeds that made them heroes.
If we define the word hero, many of us will name the qualities that demand a
person rise above, the qualities that genuinely drive a person to be stronger,
smarter, kinder, and more than the average human being. They are the people
who give when they have nothing to give. Heroes act before anyone else realizes
there’s a problem. They volunteer to put someone else before them. Our heroes
may be the first responders who save us from a dangerous situation. They may be
a mentor, like a parent or a teacher. As role models, heroes guide us through the
examples they set. They live their lives in such a way that we’re honored to know
them and hope to live up to their example. And heroes, real-life heroes, rarely get
recognized. That’s why National Hero Day encourages you to recognize the
heroes in your life.
