Donald Trump may have gone too far when he ridiculed John McCain's captivity in North Vietnam as not making him a hero. That led me to wondering what a man must do to be a hero in some people's eyes. To some, heroism must include violence, danger, and loss of life, an example being a soldier jumping on a grenade and saving his comrades.
Which, if any, would you consider heroism?
*A single mother works two menial jobs to feed her children.
*A plumber, after an operation, is paralyzed from his waist down but drags himself along the ground
*A navy pilot is shot down and tortured in a North Vietnam prison for five and a half years
*A seaman works to get his boat running and off the Iwo Jima beach
*A boy scout persuades another not to take drugs
