With Flames Climbing Windshield, Shaw and Santaniello Free Trapped Woman

This is another of those stories that makes you proud. The car was actively engaged, and would soon be totally destroyed by the fire, but these guys were not stopping until they got this woman free. To make it even worse, they did it after being awakened at 2 a.m. from a dead sleep!

That is true teamwork!

Peter O'Brien Braves Multiple Threats to Aid a Sheriff's Deputy

O'Brien's reaction to the label "hero" is so common to folks like him who just see themselves as doing the right thing. Even though he could have been killed by either of two attackers or their pitbull, he did not let that stop him from doing the right thing. Mighty heroic for a guy who calls himself "...no hero..."!
