Hero Project According to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Hero, a hero is a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal. An unsung hero is a person who maintains the qualities of a hero, but isn’t necessarily recognized or celebrated for their efforts helping others. Often times, their good deeds go unnoticed, although many people benefit their work but they do not get recognized for their hard efforts. They are people who innovate their efforts to make other people’s lives better.

Taryn Davis shares many qualities of an unsung hero. For example, she has provided support to over 900 military widows since 2007. She has also showed incredible fortitude and compassion for those that have lost their loved ones just as she did. This shows that she is an unsung hero and understands how many widows feel when they lose their loved ones and supports them to make them feel better.

She is similar to “The Giving Tree” only she gives comfort those that have lost their husbands. But, she has the generosity of the giving tree helping widows just as the giving tree helped the kid throughout his life.
