A Day for Heroes

As I turned on the PC this morning for my first check of the day's news, the first two stories that caught my eye were a quick indicator of the way this day is going to go. In my book, anyway, today is going to be a day for heroes. Heroes of different walks of life, both past and present.

As my morning schedule had limited time allotted for surfing, I have only captured a few such stories here. If you happen to know of other recent stories, post a link in the comments. I would love to highlight as many as possible today.
