Webster defines Hero as "a figure in mythology and legend renowed for great stength, courage and daring." I cringe when I hear an entertainer, or sports figure referred to as a hero. I am ashamed when these same people lambaste the police, fire, rescue, military or other government officials for doing their job. The referrence to people with great wealth that give an edifice to themselves because they didn't want to pay the money in taxes as hero. They are lauded as great heroic individuals, when in reality it is pure self aggrandizement and antigovernment attitude. The poor person that only gives a little but to their own detriment is the true giver and hero because it is an altruistic gift. I think it is time to acknowledge the true heros in our society. Those men and women the make our system work. Those everyday souls the keep on keeping on. We need to readjust our value system, accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. It hurts all of us when our people of influence would rather put their arm around a football player and praise them then a soldier, sailor, airman or marine, police-fire-rescue worker or the butcher, baker, factory worker and truck driver. This all brings me back to the main point of this discussion. General Petraeus is a true American hero and should be acknowledged as such. The reality is that the people who are making the disparaging comments are not fit to polish his boots!!!! Charles E.
