National Hero Day is celebrated on Oct. 8 every year to honor the role models who inspire people to do great things for society.

From healthcare workers to teachers, real-life heroes are those who give their all to be the best at what they do and inspire positive change in the community they are part of, even if it means putting others before themselves.

Moreover, they show us how we can also make a difference in ways we can. Through their meaningful deeds, they make us realize that even our small but sincere acts of kindness can help change others' lives for the better.

Therefore, National Hero Day encourages us not only to celebrate the heroes in our lives but also to awaken the hero in each of us.

On this occasion, here are a few messages you can send to the real-life heroes you want to show appreciation to. (Courtesy: Operation Warm)
