Honor Local Oceanside Heroes On National Superhero Day

OCEANSIDE, CA — National Superhero Day was created by employees from Marvel Comics in 1955 to get kids to talk about their favorite superheroes. This quickly changed to people talking about the real everyday heroes. Now, Superhero Day is celebrated on April 28 to honor superheroes, both real and fictional.

Oceanside has many superheroes in our midst and this year more than ever they deserve recognition. Here are just a few ways you can honor the police officers, firefighters, healthcare workers, teachers, and other real heroes that live among us:

• Take your favorite superhero to lunch.
• Share your favorite local hero story on social media.
• Send a superhero thank you card to your favorite hero.
