MIAMI (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’re meeting U.S. Army Veteran Specialist Larry Karlin.
Specialist Karlin enlisted in the Army in 1967 and served until 1973. He was trained as a medical corpsmen and later became an x-ray technician. He assisted with treating wounded service members out of Vietnam, mostly amputees and patients with tuberculosis.
He says it was a wonderful experience and met some amazing heroes.
