SUNRISE (CBSMiami) — Now to a weekly segment you will only see right here on CBS 4.
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 are meeting U.S. Navy Veteran Mathew “Whiz” Buckley, who served in the United States Navy from 1991 to 2000 and the reserve until 2006.
Born on the beach and with a love for aviation Lt. Buckley says the Navy was the perfect combination for him.
Always wanting to serve his country, he enlisted and flew the F/A 18 hornet for the United States Navy for 15 years and graduated from the Navy Fighter Private Academy, also known as Top Gun.
