I know it might seem churlish but since when is doing the right thing heroic?

What I'm saying is it's not a question of doing a heroic thing and passing any acid tests.

People can do heroic things and still mess their lives up.

People sometimes do heroic things because the situation demands it, but there's no such thing as a hero.

And more than that they were doing heroic things.

"But this was one of the most heroic things I've seen."

You get to do all sorts of heroic things I can only dream about.

Don't tell me there weren't people up there trying to do heroic things.

There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one!

"But there were many, many heroic things done that day."
