Goodbye to the last American hero - Battle Creek Enquirer

He did not allow his image to show up on lunch boxes (if he had, I'd have had one). He would not do guest shots on "The Brady Bunch" or "Laugh-In." In later years, he would never have shown up on "Dancing With the Stars" as, unfortunately, his moon-mate Buzz Aldrin, did. But I guess that's what you do when you're the second man to walk on the moon.The word "hero" is thrown around today the way we throw around a Frisbee. Anyone who does something well is suddenly a hero. Anyone who agrees with what you think is a hero. Anyone who follows through on something they say they were going to do, well, they must be a hero too.<br />http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/article/20120826/NEWS01/308260021/Goodbye-last-American-hero?odyssey%3Dtab%257Ctopnews%257Ctext%257CFrontpage
