Is it the husband who goes into other countries and leaves his family behind?
Is it the family that is left?
What makes a hero?
Is it the child with autism who is trying hard to fit into a world that is too noisy and too confusing?
What makes a hero?
Is it the kid who befriends a lonely student?
There are many ways a person can be a hero. The three soldiers who stopped a terrorist attack on a train headed for Paris are certainly heroes. They didn't have to step in and do a thing, but they did. They risked their lives.
This is the plot of 15:17 to Paris. (It was directed by Clint Eastwood. Another bonus. "He's such a studmuffin.")
What I like about the movie is that the soldiers play themselves. They are not actors.
So thank you Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone. Thank you for being heroes.
A lucky winner can win a DVD/Blu-Ray copy of 15:17 To Paris.

Very nice blog. Just loved the way of writing.keep up the good work. Waiting for future posts.
ReplyDeleteThat was really touching. For me a hero is someone who gives his/her for the greater good of others. My mom and dad are my heroes, and so is my husband. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to watch this! Sounds like a great one :)xo, Suzanne
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this post. There are many every day heroes who are selfless and giving to others that go unrecognized. Our military are heroes every day as are their families to have to sacrifice so much while they are away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this read. It was very touching. You did a great job in explaining unconventional heroes of everyday life.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great one, I wish I could enter but no problem will wait to get it.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to see this movie it looks amazing! Movies like this are my favorite! I just entered your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteClint Eastwood makes some of the best movies! Will definitely have to check this one out with my fam.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t seen 15:17 to Paris yet. It looks like a really great movie. One of my definitions of a hero is someone that is willing to risk their life for others.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this movie that I have heard that is a great movie to watch. I think he really is anybody that is willing to help somebody else in someway that nobody else will.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen 15:17 to Paris yet but it looks like a good movie. Leave it to Clint Eastwood to do something original and use the actual men that lived it to be in the movie. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I went and saw this movie. I wasn't sure about watching it but turned out to be a really good movie. Like they used the real guys in the movie.
ReplyDeleteI love that they used the men who were involved with actual event, and not actors. I can't wait to see this movie.
ReplyDeleteI would love to watch the movie. Yes, anyone can be a hero. My hero is my Mom.
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet seen this movie, but have really wanted to! There are many heroes in this world: soldiers, police officers, firefighters, nurses, doctors, teachers, parents, etc. I think anyone can be a hero.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard about this movie until now but it looks so worth seeing. I like the idea of a real soldier playing the part and who does not love Clint Eastwood.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great movie. And I love how you talked about heroism in everyday life. That was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I've not heard of this movie before. I am going to have to check it out. I think heros are different to us all.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about the movie before. But reading this emotional blog, I really can relate with the real life heroes and will gonna see the movie asap :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like and interesting movie. Hero movies that are life based are what I want to watch, not the marvel super heroes but I know it is still interesting to watch. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie! Anyone can’t be a hero given the right circumstances
ReplyDeleteYou can be a hero in so many ways! There is no one definition and that's great because it gives hope to other. i had not heard of this movie! will check it out further in depth!
ReplyDeleteThere are many beautiful ways to be a hero. Every scenario you said is one! I told Scarlet that it's more braver to have fears and face them, than to just not have any! Or to pretend you don't!
ReplyDeleteThank you to all of our heroes! I have never heard of this movie, but it sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI have many heroes in my life! Thank you for the giveaway :) .
ReplyDeleteSorry. Haven't seen the film yet. I don't think it's available from our country. For me, a hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely gonna watch this. And I had no idea it was the actual soldiers who play themselves - that's super awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone can be a hero to someone else! What a great post to remind me of this!
