FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – CBS4 in partnership with the Florida Panthers put the spotlight on a hero among us, men or women, who have gone beyond the call of duty for our country.

On this 75th anniversary week of D-Day, we would like to look back at some of the heroes among us that were a part of the day that changed the course of history.
