This is what a hero looks like. [View all]

Granted, Amanda Berry is a survivor, and it was heroic for her to take the opportunity to cry out for help. But if Charles Ramsey had chosen to keep walking – as so many of us do when we see trouble – then those women might still be in captivity today. He might not look the part, but at least three women and a 6-year-old girl are thankful he played the part. He's not Denzel or Snipes or The Rock. Charles Ramsey is a real hero.
