Len Thurmond: I don’t think I can put it into words of heroism. Heroism is a tricky word. I don’t believe it means people pulling people out of burning buildings, although that is very much heroism. I think a hero is someone who sacrifices anything for someone whom they love on any level; whatever level they can.
Even if it’s just giving up a meal so that someone you love can have it; a small thing like that; or doing without something that you really want so that your child can have something that they need. Those things are heroism to me.

Mothers literally giving up their lives. I think I told you earlier that my hero is my mother, and I think anybody who loves anybody that much and she loved all three of her children that much, to literally give up everything, is amazing. That is my term.

Willie Crawford: Because I’m a soldier and an old soldier who spend twenty years in the military my definition is probably different from most, but my definition of heroism, is someone who puts the interest of others ahead of their own interest. They do what needs to be done in the face of adversity. They know that they can be harmed.

They know that they won’t necessarily get the immediate benefit of it but they do it anyway because they think it’s for the better good of society, and for the culture or the country as a whole.
You know whether it’s a fireman that rushes into a burning building knowing that the building could collapse around him or soldier who would rather be at home with his family, his new born baby but is off on some battlefield risking his life.

Or a teacher at some inner-city school teaching and knowing that there’s a possibility that kids in this classroom have guns in their nap sacks or whatever.

There are teenagers going through all of these chemical changes that they go through in adolescence and that they’re all wired and everything and anyone of them could go off at them at any minute. Yet that teacher spends the time and energy to really care for those kids, and push them in the direction that they need to go.
So it’s someone who puts the interest of others ahead of their own interests ahead of their own immediate interests. That is my definition of a hero.
