The person in the picture above is Charles Ramsey. This Cleveland restaurant worker saved three kidnapping victims by responding to calls for help, and kicking in a door to free one of them -- then calling 911 (which resulted in the freeing of the other two). It just goes to show that heroes come in all sizes, shapes, and colors -- and all it takes is a bit of courage and a desire to help others.Mr. Ramsey didn't think of himself as a hero, but just a man. And he credited his parents for raising him to do the right thing. I think that just added to the public's instant liking of Mr. Ramsey. We like for our heroes to be a bit humble.
Ramsey said he was just eating his "McDonalds" when he heard the cry for help and responded. If the McDonald's restaurant people have a brain in their heads, then Mr. Ramsey will be the star of their next ad campaign.
