When someone is called a war hero, people immediately begin to respect him. This phrase carries courage and valor, is admirable. Heroes are not ordinary people, but those who perform feats.
Heroes of the war perform feats of war. Being a war hero is a great achievement. Any war has its heroes, whose names are immortalized in memorials, books, films. They compose songs about the heroes, idealizing their images so much that people begin to consider the actions of the heroes really something outstanding, out of the ordinary, unattainable, unthinkable. But meanwhile, when a hero accomplishes a feat, he does not think about his heroism and that he is committing something special. He just does what he considers necessary at the moment. The memory of the heroes of the war and their exploits lives on for centuries, immortalized in granite and bronze, and in the hearts of people who, thanks to their heroic exploits, may have survived.
How to become heroes
Heroes of the war are not super heroes with superpowers, but people like the rest, only in certain circumstances and having accomplished a feat. Heroes are definitely not born, they become. Why, in a situation of hostilities, does someone become a hero, but someone does not? Because potential heroes cultivate courage, kindness, responsiveness, self-sacrifice. In all world wars ordinary soldiers participate, often young men who do not have military skills. But they, at the cost of their lives, fulfilled their tasks, leading entire states to victory. The war hero is the savior of lives. Thousands or one is not important. Heroism is the willingness to sacrifice life for the sake of another person. This is fearlessness and courage. This is the belief that "our cause is right."
