Heroes are people who transform compassion (a personal virtue) into heroic action (a civic virtue). In doing so, they put their best selves forward in service to humanity. A hero is as an individual or a network of people that take action on behalf of others in need, or in defense of integrity or a moral cause.
Heroic action is:
- Engaged in voluntarily;
- Conducted in service to one or more people or the community as a whole;
- Involving a risk to physical comfort, social stature, or quality of life; and
- Initiated without the expectation of material gain.
