According to Hercules, "A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart." A hero is not someone who is just powerful. He's not the one who has magical powers and infinite strength. Thus, a hero is an ordinary person who finds the strength in his heart to pursue and endure in spite of many obstacles.
Heroes are heroes themselves because of their incomparable good deeds. They are heroes not because they want fame but because they want to help others. They are heroes because they were able to do things what others can't do. They are heroes because they can endure pain which other's cannot. They are heroes because they are ready to sacrifice what they have. In short, they are heroes because they are themselves. They are the people who have those unique characteristics. They are the Fallen 44. They are those who sacrificed themselves in order to achieve their success in their mission. They are those who gave their lives in order to save other's. They are those who were self-less when they became heroes.
For me, heroes like them should be honored and remembered. They should be thanked for all those concerns that they had given us. And because of that, I give my salute to them. I admire how brave they were when they fought for the whole country. I admired how they were eager to continue the fight even if there's a big possibility that they could not go back to their homes anymore. I admire all of their deeds. I know how hard it was for them to be away with their family. I know how painful it was for them when they were unable to escape their duty. I know how much they endured the pain for the whole country. But I didn't know why their destinies were planned to end in such a tragic way. I feel sorry for them and for their family. I feel sad for those whom they left. I feel bad for what happened to them. But I know that there's a way for me, for us, for everyone to assure that what they died for won't be ignored. We should continue what they started and win the fight for them. We should help everyone in order to achieve their goal for the country. We should not let them down. We should not forget them and their deeds and instead, remember and honor them for the rest of our lives. Again, let's give our salute for the Fallen 44!
"Heroes get remembered, but legends never die." - Babe Ruth
