Our Heroes...

We honor and celebrate them.

Their stories are common in all cultures. They are as distant as the legendary Odysseus and King Arthur, and yet as close as the fireman who lives next door.

They demonstrate the high ideals that inspire us to go beyond the expected, the norm. They bring us dreams of "What if I ..."

We need heroes - to mold and shape us by their example, into those who can make this world a better place for all.

This WebQuest challenges you not only to define the hero, but to find out about many of the heroic men and women of the century and, after careful deliberation, nominate one individual as the "Hero of the Century."
