When a man dies defending others, in this case successfully, in my book that makes him a hero. Mr. Johns is every bit as much a hero as our troops fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Correct. His action was heroic. It was also a part of his job. He gave his life protecting others. He was hired as security and he shouldn’t have had to die but he did so that others may live.

You make a very interesting point, Sherman. I hadn't thought of it that way.
