Valor

I have selected the word "valor" to write about.  As I was searching through the list of words that could be used for this project, valor immediately popped out at me.  I think what sparked the word into my head was seeing the movie, Act of Valor, which depicts real life Navy SEALs.  I really enjoyed the movie, and ever since seeing it, I have always had this idea of valorous actions.  Being a future member of the U.S. Navy, the word has intrigued me, yet I do not know that much about it.  So that is why I have chosen "valor."  The word seems heroic, brave, courageous, humble, stoic...  To me, valor represents actions of the military, along with other bold actions made by others in the community.  It can apply to police, firemen, or a passerby rushing to save somebody...
