What is National Hero Day?
National Hero Day, on October 8th, honors those we look up to and inspire us to be the best person we can possibly be.

Many of us will name the characteristics that make a person more capable, intelligent, kinder, and more than the average human being if asked to define the word hero. Many of us will name the characteristics that make a person more than average human beings. They are the people who give when they have nothing to give. Heroes perform before anyone else knows there's a problem. They volunteer to bring someone else before them.
Our heroes may be the first responders who save us from a dangerous situation. They may be a mentor, like a parent or a teacher. Heroes lead us through their examples as role models and heroes. They live their lives in such a way that we're proud to know them and want to follow their example.
And heroes, true-life heroes, are rarely acknowledged. That's why National Hero Day encourages you to recognize the heroes in your life.
