HEROES

Not all heroes wear capes. Some carry mail bags and deliver letters. That is true for one St. Louis mailman who was on his route and saw a 5-year-old boy and his dog in distress from flooding. He sprang into action and saved them both.

There is no greater love than being willing to sacrifice your life for others. One Midwest man lived that principle as he saved 6 people including 4 children from a home on fire while suffering serious injuries to himself.

Imagine this. You've just experienced a horrific train crash. What's the first thing you do? If you're this group of Boy Scouts, you spring to action and immediately begin helping those injured and in some cases killed. In other words, heroes.

The world uses the word "hero" to describe characters on movie screens. The word is really meant for people like a Missouri dad who saved 9 kids from a house fire recently while he was on fire himself.

Not all heroes wear capes. A Missouri man was driving down a rural highway in Gasconade County when he thought he might have seen something. After turning around, he found an elderly woman who had fallen in a snowy ditch.

A town was suffering from historic flooding. What some saw as a tragedy, farmers saw as an opportunity to help as many came roaring to the rescue.

On this 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, organizers in Quincy get ready to host a weekend of activities for veterans and their families.
