and of course many others... firefighters, emts and medics, cops, and even soldiers. i respect and admire every single soldier in our Revolutionary War. who could deny that? this current bullshit is another list... these were cut down before their time, by and large... the first bloc is just part of the "Dead at 27 Pantheon" list... others are Mary of Burgundy, Ahmed I, Jesus (my own theory), and of course Rupert Brooke.

Heath wasn't really a hero, but you got the "dead" part right.
If Dark Knight is good I'll take it back. Only then.

i hear ya on that one... it better be fuckin golden.
admiuttedly, i hesitated to put him on this list, because i didn't really know him that well, as a fan or anything. but, he too died young, and inadvertently killed himself, so up he goes.
