You don’t need a cape or powers to be a hero to someone. The men and women who gave their lives to try and rescue those apart of the 9/11 event were heros to each person rescued and to their families. Be on the lookout to be a hero to someone in need. Be a hero to your family, your coworkers, your community. A hero is someone who gives his life to something bigger than himself…That’s the faith part of F3!
