The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for Day 813
Joseph Campbell said: "A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself." What do you think makes someone into a hero?

What is a hero?

A hero is someone
who know fear,
but moves forward anyway.

A hero is someone
who sees a need
and fulfills is without
expecting a reward.

A hero is someone
who knows
that even though bombs fall,
guns shout,
and we cannot see the end of war
wars eventually end.

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for Day 1293
Write a tribute to someone you think needs to be remembered for something heroic he or she did during that person's lifetime.

Code Talkers

Remember the Code Talkers1
Native Americans
who used their tribal languages
to enhance the speed of encrypted communications
in wartime.
