Very heart felt story and I am glad you can share such a great story with us. I hope that everyone reads stop for a moment as I did for the lost ones. You see I was in the Navy for 14 years and 9-11 is the day that I will never forget what I was doing or the people I knew that had lost people there. Thanks for the read and happy writing.

This is a good story about a hero that you knew personally. Too often we overlook those who are closest to us and don't realize how much they have contributed to the well-being of others.

To the author of "My Grandfather My Hero". You have composed a lovely and compassionate true story about how proud you are of your grandfather. I applaud you. Being a grandmother I always value persons who love their grandparents. Excellent story. Carole

Your story, although interesting, was repetitive about when he would drink and not drink. And it was confusing - early on you say he joined the ranks at 19 but later say, when he had a chance he joined even though he had a 5 year old. ???? I do agree - your grandfather and all firefighters are heroes.

This is a wonderful tribute to your grandfather. I can understand why he is your hero. You sum up his heroic qualities in your last sentence, "My grandfather was a true hero. He was an ordinary man who acted in an extraordinary way.

Best of luck in the contest,

Sounds like a great man to have in your corner and a
favorite fireman he was especially to you. You can be proud of him for always he is in your heart

Loving retelling of the special memories you have of your grandfather. Many are not lucky enough to have one of your gifts, let alone both. Grandfathers are not always in someone's life, but to remember yours this way is a blessing. Nicely done. AT=/
