Most do not feel they are heroes, that distinction is for those who serve and protect. We are just doing a job.
Does a mask make me feel safe ....NO
Watching those who Wear masks, but incorrectly makes me think they should have saved that mask for those who really need it.

Not feeling like a hero doesn't mean you aren't one. Certainly all those who willingly put themselves in harms way to serve and protect others, like the military, police, fire personnel and others. But there are the ones who take on the less obvious tasks, like the doctors and nurses who deal with life and death situations every day, putting themselves in harms way while they deal as best they can with things like Covid and exposing themselves day after day in the hope of saving lives.
No, you don't have to be Rambo to be a hero. Courage isn't the lack of fear. Courage is doing what needs to be done in spite of the fear. You and your colleagues just might be herons and not know it.
Stay safe. Stay well. Look in the mirror and you just might see a hero looking back. Peace!
