SUNRISE (CBSMiami) — 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.
This week, we are meeting United States World War II Veteran Arnie Kann.
Tech Sergeant Kann was drafted in 1942 and served until 1946. He was part of the 42nd Infantry Division called the “Rainbow Division”.
He is a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor and led his 38-man platoon into France and Germany to assist in liberating the Nazi’s first concentration camp in Dachau.
