Unlike many other countries around the world, England does little to celebrate, it’s patron saint day. This is a great shame, the Irish seem to have the saints day down to a knack with, St. Patrick, celebrated the world over. It could be the one day of the year the English people could be proud of their history and traditions. Doing some research into this topic, I was hearted to find sites like stgeorgesday.com. But when I found a site called Saint George’s heroes, I knew that I had to post on this topic.

The purpose of this site is to find an English men or women that who possess true heroic qualities from selflessness to courage, or who have achieved outstanding triumphs. This person is then given £2,000 as a reward for their heroic acts to use to help with the charitable acts.

When reading this, I thought that it is a wonderful idea. It seems that all these people doing wonderful thing are forgotten, for all the time and effort that they put in. Reading some of the 2006 winners stories, it nice to think that people can use that many for something important.

If you know someone that could be a hero, then it is not to late to fill out a Nomination form before April 23rd. Even if you do not, remember to raise a glass on that day, for the heroes that came before.
