Heroes Among Us: Army Veteran Helped Iraqis Get Chance To Vote

SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – Every week, in partnership with the Florida Panthers, CBS4 puts the spotlight on a Hero Among Us.

Men or women who have gone beyond the call of duty for our country.

Today, we’re meeting Sergeant Victor Larronde who served in the United States Army from 1996 to 2013.

Sergeant Larronde says he always knew he wanted to do good and that’s why he enlisted in the Army. During those 16 years, Sgt. Larronde was awarded many medals for his service to our country.
