4 out of 5 stars Teach Children Patriotism.......2004-10-08

Modern Day Heroes gives positive support for political leaders, military and community people who have defended our freedom abroad and worked to maintain safety at home. This book can be a reference for parents who want to teach their children about our era, an important period in history. It is a good snapshot of modern heroism to build patriotism and unity.

4 out of 5 stars Real People Define the HERO.......2004-09-20

Many times media makes decisions about who is a hero. The title is bestowed in headlines to entice viewers, reader and listeners to stay with the medium. This book asked real people what a hero is to them. In a time when it is easy to feel that people are shallow and uninterested in anything but themselves, you see the depth the American people have. American people have deep souls and do not bestow the title hero without thinking about it. This book will let you know what people in American think. It was very inspirational.

5 out of 5 stars Entertaining political primer.......2004-05-26

Especially during an election year, it is nice to read a book that reminds us that both Republicans and Democrats have contributed to the greatness of the U.S.A. Modern Day Heroes is a fast-paced read that is told in "story" style through the contributions of top level politicians (I was excited to see one of my state's senators as a contributor to the book). Ultimately, the book (as the title implies) is about heroes and their stories. Some of the stories are about current heroes (our servicemen in Iraq, firefighters, policemen, etc.) and some of the stories are about past heroes (WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, etc.) Again, the thing that is perhaps most refreshing about this book is that it demonstrates that Americans all have something to contribute and it's not simply about being a Republican or Democrat.
