People who are honorable, and heroic usually don't feel that they deserve the title. Those who are in the service and feel that because they serve they are honorable and heroic don't deserve respect and are certainly not heros. You don't have to worry if you are a hero or honorable, because if you are someone will tell you.

By your standards:

-Every time the rampers load a bag into the belly of my plane, that's honorable.
-Every time a passenger doesn't leave a giant mess behind when they leave, that's honorable.
