On October 8th, National Hero Day honors the people we look up to and who inspire us to be the best person we can possibly be and the Tift County Sheriff's Office took part. 

If asked to define the word hero, many of us will name the qualities that demand a person rise above, the qualities that genuinely drive a person to be stronger, smarter, kinder and more than the average human being. They are the people who give when they have nothing to give. Heroes act before anyone else realizes there's a problem. They volunteer to put someone else before them.
