60 Dad Hero Quotes (with Images)

When most people think of heroes, they might think of people like firefighters, soldiers, or police officers. 

Or superheroes like Spiderman, Blank Panther, or Captain America.

People who put their lives on the line to help others. 

While those people are certainly heroes, we don’t frequently consider our fathers to be heroes.

But they are!

Dads are often the unsung heroes of the family.
