This article is a great idea, but the word "hero" generally is understood to refer to men; the feminine version is "heroine." I propose that the women on this list be moved to "American Heroines" on the grounds that thee article as it is denies the very basic differences between the sexes and promotes competition between the sexes. --[[User:LeonardW|LeonardW]] 21:38, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

:Hero is both a gender neutral and Masculine term, and there is no point in dividing up the article. It would do with some Title change for Plural (Since it's a list of people, not just a person or definition) and because that undercase h is bad wiki form--[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 21:40, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

== American ==
The article states "American heros are men and women who represent American values." It says nothing about a requirement of the person having to be American. [[Saint Paul]] is clearly a hero to millions of Americans. I say we keep him in the examples. --[[User:MatthewQ|MatthewQ]] 21:49, 29 August 2011 (EDT)
