No. Not just you.

I have serious issues with the use of the word “hero” when it isn’t really applicable. My parents were “heroes” to me, but it is my own application of the term in a private manner.

A football player, or actor is not a hero, unless they are jumping into a frozen river to save someone.

See my Freep page for who I view as Heroes.

Enjoyed your freep page. Thank you for your service to our Country and the sacrifices made by you and your family. I plan to get a copy and read The Witness.
