SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – Now to a weekly segment you will only see right here on CBS4.
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.
Today, we’re meeting Korean War Veteran Sgt. Melvin Simowitz.
Mel, as he likes to go by, was drafted into the U.S. Army on February 29, 1952 and in November, just before Thanksgiving, he arrived in Korea and was part of the 7th.
