‘A Life Of Service Is What I Chose’: Air Force Vet Honored As Hero Among Us

SUNRISE (CBSMiami) — Now to a weekly segment you will only see right here on CBS4. Every Friday, in partnership with the Florida Panthers, we put the spotlight on a hero among us, men or women who have gone beyond the call of duty for our country.

Today, we are meeting Master Sgt. William DeAngel.

William who goes by “Buddy” served in the United States Air Force from January 1996 to February 2016. He says he knew the military was a place he would end up.

Master Sgt. DeAngel was in airfield management where he took care of the runways, managed the taxiway and made sure they were all up to standards.
