This post seems like an easy topic to write about. How is it not obvious to some people why we need our everyday heroes? Firefighters, teachers, policemen and women, as well as, many more keep our cities running smoothly. In addition, they keep our cities moving forward. Yet, it seems like we constantly overlook every day heroes, as a nation.

USEHHAF is here because we each want to recognize and support the everyday hero in our life. Tired of trying to convince others around you to focus on everyday heroes instead of celebrities in tabloids? We designed a little questionnaire for them to see if they really prefer the hero in the press, or if they appreciate the quiet everyday hero.
- Who is your celebrity hero?
- What made them your celebrity hero?
- What experience would you want them to talk to you about?
- Name a teacher, firefighter, or other service man or woman who influenced you.
- What did he or she do that influenced you?
- How many other people you know that directly know this person?
- Did this person help or influence them in anyway?
- What experiences has this person had that they could share with you?
- Would you listen?
- Reflect on what you believe your foundation for a good life is. Which person, the celebrity or everyday hero, exemplifies that?
The last question is the most important. Don’t get us wrong, we like to follow and hear about celebrities, but we want our everyday heroes to come first. That’s why we’re working hard for them.
Did you answer the questionnaire? Send us a story about your everyday hero so that we can share it with others.
