Someone I'd like my kids to see as a hero.

Paul Smith

I mean, did the news cover this? No, of course not.

I have a sports hero;

Ted Williams
Best damn ball player ever, War hero, and one hell of an outdoorsman.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

If you are going for sports heroes,then Pat Tillman.

 

[Pilgrim]

MHO, you know.

Most definately. To bad the current crop of sports stars, for the most part, are all about them and the money they deserve. Screw that, I say give their salary's to those who deserve it. Police, Fire and soldiers. They are the ones who have more to lose than those clowns.

If you ask most that are serving will tell you It's their job. Which is what our son would tell you.

The fact that a person is a sports star or movie star or any other public figure does not make them a good or bad role model. It's what they do with their talents and their lives.

Pat Tillman - No. 1.

Randy Moss - No. 10 GI (VN vets will understand this one).

Just look at all the so-called "Rap Stars" that are involved in crininal activity, shootings, etc.

And yet, you still have people going nuts over them.

And we wonder why the country is going to hell in a handbasket?

It's far too bad that your bank account seems to define more about hero status than your deeds these days.
