Buzz Aldrin- an American Hero

I'd have to disagree on the term hero in this instance as well.  It's not like they couldn't find anyone willing, and Buzz stepped up to the plate and took one for the team   What he did was brave, knowing and understanding the risk involved, but a hero is a term reserved for someone who doesn't stand a chance and still put his life at risk of certain death in order to save another life.  A national hero would have to step up even that definition and save our way of life.   If it were said that our way of life, as Americans, would not be what it is today, if not for Buzz, then he'd be a hero in my book.  Buzz exemplified the meaning of being what being an American is; taking an opportunity made available and succeeding.  Buzz sure did succeed as an American. 

Ok.  "Buzz Aldrin- an American American."

Ok.  "Buzz Aldrin- an American American."

To some, he is an American's American and to some a hero.  I won't be telling anyone else who they can have for heros, that's to each individual's opinion. 

Chuck Norris.  Now THERE'S a hero!!
