�Those who say that we�re in a time when there are no
heroes, they just don�t know where to look.�
� Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, Jan. 20,
1981
Most everyone has a hero. For some, it�s a person � a
parent, a teacher, a grandparent, a friend, a brother or sister.
For others, an animal, an organization or some other
entity might assume heroic proportions.
Each July for the past 10 years, Cooperative Living
magazine has conducted a youth art contest based on a different theme.
This year, we asked youthful artists across Virginia to offer artwork
depicting �
