My hero is definitely my husband. That may sound cheesy, but he truly is an example. He is semi-retired from our country’s service, having worn his uniform for over 40 years. They refuse to take his name off the state guard list! He is also the type of person who is always willing to help others. If you need something done, he will be the first to step up. But he’s also patient, gentle and kind. He has a wonderful faith in God that he turns to for any situation that arises.

My father and all those who fought for our freedoms are my heroes. My father carries a piece of schrapnal in his back he recieved when wounded in WWII. Now government doctors say that piece of metal in his back is not combat related. He has medical records from hopitals he was in during the war that say otherwise! He was told by doctors in London that he would never walk again but as he left the hospital an orderly told him to dump the back brace they had put him in and let doctors at home tell him how severe his wounds were and he walked from the hospital several months later.

Great post! You all have named wonderful authors and heros! I have to agree with Pam — I’m married to a Mr. Fix It (everything but electronics) and he cooks too! I’ll add two heros from recent reads: Nathaniel (who seeemed like a pretty regular – not flashy- really nice guy) from Irresistible by Mary Balogh and Gavin (a rescuer of mother and child) from The Bartered Bride by Mary Jo Putney. Had to think of another western and came up with one of my keepers: Slade from Hannah’s Promise by Cheryl Anne Porter.
