Who are your heroes?

[FlyersFan]

In popular American culture? If you are American, that is.

I have no heroes in 'popular American culture'.

Real life people whom I admire ... Saint Peter, Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Padre Pio, Father (Captain) Emil Joseph Kapaun, Mother Angelica, My Husband.  

Also ArchBishop Vigano who is a 'prince of the church' and an outspoken critic of the New World Order and Pope Francis.

Anyone struggling with illness and hardship who keep on fighting and who don't succumb to despair or evil.  They are inspirational.   (I tend to get pissed off, and give in to self pity and discouragement) 

People who try to put God first or at least try to figure out what is right and do it, and who try to do what is right even in the face of extreme hardship and ridicule and pressure from the 'spirit of the world'.

I don't have heroes.   That's too big of a word.  And people put on pedestals can fall.   I do have people that I admire and who I find inspiration from.  Everything from canonized saints to the people I've known who have fought through hardships ....
