Stop inflating the meaning of the word "hero". Medals only for those who were killed or injured trying to save lives other than their own or who were killed trying to kill the terrorists.

I agree. There is so much talk about all of the heroes and I think the term has become diluted. It has been done with good intentions. One disagreement, though. There are some who made it out of the buildings without injury, who put themselves at great risk helping others to escape. These, too are heroes, by my definition.

Okay, I'll definitely give you that!
