This month's hero, well, actually, last month's hero, is Vika Kallogova, a Russian 13-year-old who was involved in the terrorist attack on the school in Beslan, when militants arrived and set siege to the school from Sept. 1-3
Vika was among a group of about 30 who managed to hide and get away, but she realized she didn't know where her 8-year-old sister Olya was. So she went back in with the rest of the hostages and stayed with her sister for three days until Russian security forces swept in and ousted the terrorists.
To add to the drama: While hiding amidst the gunfire between bad guys and good guys, Vika pulled shrapnel from her own foot and her sister's arm. Quite a brave little girl.
Terrorists are at work all over the region of the Caucasus mountains in southern Russia, and things to don't look to be getting more stable any time soon. Let's hope and pray that the Russian security forces can prevent another hundred children dying in another school siege. But we all know that terrorists don't care at all about killing civilians.
