What is a hero? Who is a hero?

Every person assigns with these questions. Every person has his own hero. For me a hero is my grandfather 1991-1945. Four terrible and heavy years for the whole country. War takes millions of lives. People of the world will never forget them.

My grandfather took part in the Great Patriotic War, defending our Motherland. My grandfather was a pilot. His plane has blasted during the war. Huge tenacity, persistence and a will to live helped him to survive and go on.

My grandfather protected our Motherland and I love, respect and am proud of him.
