Here's a good one, and one you wouldn't think of either...\n\n**********************************\nFrom http://people.monstersandcritics.com/article_1047095.php/Sean_Penn_praised_for_Katrina_rescue_efforts\n\nOscar-winning actor Sean Penn has been hailed as an "American hero" after his brave rescue efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana.\n\nThe Mystic River star was ridiculed when an Australian journalist reported he had forgotten to fix a hole in his boat, which supposedly started sinking as he scooped water out of it with a plastic cup.\n\nBut presidential historian and eyewitness Douglas Brinkley insists the claims are completely false, as big-hearted Penn valiantly saved up to 40 survivors.\n\nBrinkley, who is chronicling the city's recovery from the disaster, tells the New York Daily News, "There was never a leak. The boat was overloaded with people. It got some water in it, as boats usually do.\n\n"I witnessed him rescuing up to 40 people. He was up to his waist in toxic muck.\n\n"I'm not going to comment on Sean's trips to Iraq or Iran, but in this case, he was an American hero."\n\n*****************************\nAnd also\n\nhttp://sify.com/movies/hollywood/fullstory.php?id=13934927\n\nSean Penn comes to the rescue of Katrina victims\nTuesday, 06 September , 2005, 14:59\nNew York: Hollywood actor Sean Penn took matters into his own hands by launching a boat in a personal effort to rescue families stranded in New Orleans.\n\nAccording to The New York Daily News, the Oscar-winning actor and political activist managed to reach several people who had been trapped in their homes since Hurricane Katrina hit on Monday.\n\nPenn, who was accompanied by his personal photographer and a crew of helpers, brought the victims to dry land - and gave them cash as well.\n\nJohnnie Brown, 73, a retired custodian, called his sister on a cell phone after being plucked from his flooded house. "Guess who come and got me out of the house? Sean Penn the actor. Them boys were really nice," he said.\n\nPenn later accompanied a few of them to a hospital.\n\nAsked what he was doing in the disaster zone, Penn said, "Whatever I can do to help."\n\n"There's a lot of people out there," Penn said. "There's bodies everywhere. We could only do so many houses."

Jesus the Christ. He was mocked, whipped and slain, all for our salvation. He is a true hero.

i would recommend Colin Powell, our former Secretary of State.  \nhe was a hero in the military during vietnam and korea, and has been awarded the purple heart, bronze star and countless other awards, including knighthood from the queen of england.  \nhe is one of the most respectable people ever to hold any office in the united states government, and  would have made a better president than anyone i can think of in recent history.\nhe is involved with the united negro college fund, as well as americas promise: the alliance for youth.\n\ni hope this helps you with your essay...good luck

I grew up in the 80's so it's hard to pick just one.  The Smurfs, Transformers, G-Force, Herculoids, Go-Bots, Thundercats and Voltron.  The 80's was definitly the beginning of the cartoon boom.

Present day player is Derek Jeter. All time was Mickey Mantle, with Thurman Munson a close second. You can tell I'm not a Yankee fan.... lol!

I'm sure you (dad) have way better qualities than George Bush!  They probably say that just because it sounds impressive but the truth of the matter is.....the real hero is right in the house with them.  I am almost 99% sure my 5 year old would probably say SpongeBob Squarepants is her hero, but at the end of the day I know that it is really me!

I guess it depends what you define as a hero.  If you mean someone people look up to, then you're probably referring to the music and media celebrities.  Mostly they are uncouth (IMO), amoral and egotistical.  In that case then I think its a reflection on the social and moral depravity of this society.  Don't get me wrong, there are some "heroes" with worthwhile characteristics (for example, although I am a Christian and do not go with the "multi-faith", PC, namby-pamby approach, I wouldn't deny that there are great social and moral advantages to following some religious leaders in their approach to a number of aspects in life.  I don't want to see the world where everyone is identical (we were designed/made to have our individuality and right to choose) but I remember someone once saying that with the rise of alternative comedy that soon there would be no alternative to alternative comedy!
