Heroes.
Suddenly, heroes aren't the ones hitting 70 home runs
in a season or performing on the big screen. They're not making millions
of dollars every year or having their faces appear on a box of Wheaties.
And kids don't necessarily want to be "like Mike" anymore. They want to be
like the Dennis Devlins, Marc Whitfords and John Ginleys of the world, all
of whom who gave their lives to save others Sept. 11.
Firefighters,
police officers and emergency workers have become the new Mark McGwires
and Michael Jordans. Firefighters' and cops' costumes were flying off
the shelves for Halloween. At elementary schools, kids cheered and crowded
around ordinary men just to touch the hand of a real-life hero like Mike
Sitler, a New York City firefighter with Engine 223 in Brooklyn.
The children of firefighters already knew their fathers were
heroes. Now they share their personal heroes and role models with the
world. And the world's kids, and their parents who search for positive
role models, are ready to embrace them.

Getting
Personal A Canadian broadcaster in 1973 thought it was high
time for someone to "speak up for the Americans as the most generous and
possibly the least-appreciated people in all the world." The huge numbers
of people who have shared this transcript via e-mail think it's well worth
repeating.
