AGREE or DISAGREE with any of the people up there?? Any notable omissions???
Feel free to comment!!!
When it comes to a hero- how does time play into it? I.e. do we have to wait a certain amount of time to see if that person's heroic actions actually seem heroic once we have some distance from them? So, can we legitimately identify #87 as a hero? Or do we have to wait to see if his achievements stand up over time?
