Dwight D. Eisenhower

A person must have many attributes to be a hero. A person must have bravery. If a person doesn’t have bravery they couldn’t stand up for what they believe in or stand strong for their cause. A hero must have respect for people and must be respected. If you don’t respect or are not respectable you can never be a hero because you can’t command attention. A hero must have knowledge or they won’t know what to do. A hero must have leadership. A hero without leadership could never get followers to fight for his cause. A hero must be creative. An uncreative hero could never devise a plan or way to get attention.
