We have many heroes now in Afghanistan. Fire fighters are heroes, especially when they risk their lives to rescue people.

Answer 2

Heroes rescue the perishing, care for the dying, and save the innocent, and take on nature.

I think that teen girl who sailed around the world is a hero, many, many girls will look up to her for a long time.
