Your Everyday Hero: Michael M.

My hero is my father who, sadly, passed away May 28, 2001, but left a legacy for his sons that will outlive all of us. Born a cast-off kid in Omaha, my father worked his whole life to make a better life for himself and his family. He never crowed about his accomplishments, and even took his share of hardships, but he never complained, and his family always came first. He always was, and always will be my hero.
