Summary:

Most American heroes aren't in our history books, nor do they have monuments erected in their honor. Their names aren't in the headline news or memorialized in song. The true hero is simply someone who makes a difference -- large or small -- in the lives of others. They battle disease, crime, poverty and human rights violations. They clean up environments, mentor neglected children and truly care about others. Most importantly, anyone can be a hero in the eyes of another. In Chicken Soup for the Soul of America, everyday heroes are celebrated. Heroes have always been in our midst, but the terrorist attacks on American soil revealed many more heroes who have given their lives, love, time and strength to those in great need.
