My son wrote this last year for English class at Trinity Lutheran School in Jenera. I thought it was very appropriate for the 9/11 anniversary. I think people should read it and realize our heroes are not football or basketball stars. They are ordinary people like you and me. It brings a smile to my face every time I read it so I thought it should be shared with the Bluffton community.

Heroes

Heroism, it is what America is.
Our country is built on.
They give their lives and always will.
There are many types of them.
From writers of Declarations and Constitutions.
To founders of institutions.
No matter where we go,
there will always be people who go out of their way.
To save the day.
Our Heroes.
