MIAMI (CBSMiami)- The Florida Panthers and CBS4 recognize retired United States Navy Lt. Bud Borner, in today’s Heroes Among Us, where we put the spotlight on men or women who have gone beyond the call of duty for our country.
Lt. Borner served for 24 years in the Navy. He said ever since he could remember he was a fan of the water, so it seemed like a logical choice when he enlisted in the Navy.
He was a radio yeoman first stationed in Japan. After that assignment, he joined the Manned Spacecraft Recovery Force which picked up astronauts after they landed in the sea.
