Growing up, my heroes were steely eyed, laconic, hyper-competent people who Got The Needful Done.

Whether it's a power company lineman out fixing a blown transformer in a storm, or a grizzled master sergeant figuring out how to solve a company-scale problem with a platoon, we're talking about people who say little, and don't think a problem ends with "I don't know" but BEGINS with "I don't know YET."

It feels like society has moved on from that. But I haven't. Those are STILL my heroes.
