Poll: I lived that heroic moment ...

A poll by ElMaruecan82
Because being a hero isn't just about saving a group of hostages from terrorists, freeing a city from invaders or putting the bad guys in jail. Indeed, sometimes heroism is simply about having the courage to raise your voice, to act according to your beliefs, to take all the chances, all the hits and still move forward ... to become later, an inspiration for your friends, your family, your peers etc.

Since there is a little bit of Rocky, Spartacus and George Bailey in all of us, which of these 'heroic' moments have you lived at least once in your life? if you lived many of them, which one of the most intense and impacting in your life?
