Your definition of a hero.

Hero.

We hear or read this word and images come to mind. Mostly of people though depending on the context a type of food can appear. A hero sandwich is also knows as a submarine sandwich or sub, a hoagie, or Po' Boy distinguished for its large size bread sliced and filled with a variety of ingredients. Based on conversations I have had I have found a classic hero sandwich has Italian meats, provolone cheese, lettuce, and sliced tomatoes. Those were commonly agreed upon ingredients but naturally numerous variations exist.

A hero in the form of a person is the reason for this posting.

In your opinion what makes a person a hero? Are there standards by which other heroes should be measured? If so what are those standards?
Is there a person in your life, past or present, who is a hero?

In your response/answer I ask for no photos, memes, or gifs. Your words of a civil tone will suffice.

Thank you.

A "hero" can be someone who goes towards danger, knowing there is danger but disregarding their own fear or risk to their own well being to confront the danger in order to protect or to save others.
@spjennifer I have heard that description as well and cannot argue against.
