Heroes

The world uses the word "hero" to describe characters on movie screens. The word is really meant for people like a Missouri dad who saved 9 kids from a house fire recently while he was on fire himself.

Not all heroes wear capes. A Missouri man was driving down a rural highway in Gasconade County when he thought he might have seen something. After turning around, he found an elderly woman who had fallen in a snowy ditch.

A town was suffering from historic flooding. What some saw as a tragedy, farmers saw as an opportunity to help as many came roaring to the rescue.

The word "hero" gets overused these days, but this man truly deserves that honor. This Missouri man saved two young boys who were struggling in Lake Michigan before he drowned himself.
