How are heroes honoured???

If you were a hero, how would you want to be honoured?

Maybe a statue, or a school named after you? How about your own section of a highway? What about a mountain, or Provincial Park? A road or street or a stamp? A song dedicated to you? Your very own coin?
Kind of cool to dream :)
Well Terry Fox, arguably our nations' greatest hero, has been honoured with all of those.  Well deserved too. 
Here's his stats...
32- Roads and Streets
14- Schools
7- Statues
not to mention...Mount Terry Fox (in the Canadian Rockies) and in 2005 the mint created a coin of Terry as well as other honours in his name.  Are these the greatest Canadian honours? And if a person is honoured in this fashion does that make them a hero???
