Who are the real heroes? I ask myself this question everyday because many people are not acknowledging the sacrifice many men and women have made in the past and in this present moment. People refer to people who wear jerseys as heroes but I bet if those people thinking that if you wear a Jersey your automatically a hero would not last on the shoes of a real hero who goes through horrors for all of us to keep our freedom. We tend to take advantage of the freedom we have today but the people who fight, some of those men and women die with the honor of fighting for us. They risk everything while we sit at home with a bed and the relief of knowing we won't get attacked in the night.

The real heroes are out there serving, have served, or have died fighting for us. We need to realize our freedom comes with a cost, someone's life.

I have heard many things and have seen how people neglect the fact that they are free.
