A True Hero

I stumbled across an article when I was researching the Heroes assignment worksheet. This article was called Life saver: Hero Alan Beavan. I found this article on Myhero.com and it was about the life of Alan Beavan. Alan lived a life helping others, his career was to represent many cases of clean water acts but what he really wanted to do was be a volunteer environmental lawyer in India. Right before Alan and his family could live out his dream he has one more clean water case to finish in California so on September 11th, 2001. Alan Beavan boarded a flight when it was hijacked and redirected towards the Pentagon. Alan and a couple other brave men and women fought to gain control of the plain, though they didn’t safely land the plane they directed it away from the pentagon saving many more lives. In my opinion Alan is the perfect representation of what a hero truly is.
