Downvoters, pump your brakes. The man's a national treasure!
Mothers. For raising up kids.
I'm surprised to see this has been downvoted. I know not all mothers are perfect but just keeping a baby alive and healthy is pretty heroic IMO.
Humans identify power/mighty ( even angry ) people as Heroic. Those ones with empathy, love are considered as cowards.
