My Memorial Day HERO Rant Bear with me here
OK Did I just see that or was I wrong? Did my local news just spend MORE time covering the Mass for Fallen Firefighters held today than they did about Memorial Day Services held for FALLEN MILITARY MEMBERS?

YES THEY DID.

ON A DAY TO HONOR OUR MILITARY.

NOT our Public servants.

This is a DISGRACE. Being a Cop, Firefighter, or an EMS does NOT make you a HERO. HEROIC ACTIONS make you a HERO.

The word Hero has been DILUTED to the point of a job description in the news. How does being a Cop, Firefighter, or EMS, make you a hero? What did you do to BE A HERO? What was HEROIC about your day?

And NO not all military members are hero's. They reserve that for the Decorated and members who have EARNED that distinction.

I served, I am NO HERO. Not many are. They are a RARE bread. And no job MAKES one a Hero.

A HERO is one who does something Heroic. And it is not done for glory or honor.

IT IS DONE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

Sorry about my rant. I just have been getting more and more upset with how the term Hero has been thrown around so often now that it is almost NOT an Honor to say someone is a Hero.

We Honor the Dead. We Praise the Brave.

But we Decorate The Hero's.
