SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – Every Friday, in partnership with the Florida Panthers, we put the spotlight on a hero among us. These are men or women who have gone beyond the call of duty for our country.
On this day, we’re meeting U.S. Army Korean War Veteran Cpl. David Hoviss.
Cpl. Hoviss was drafted in 1952 and served until 1960. He says he wasn’t scared at all because he knew he was doing his duty for the country.
During his time in the service, he was an assistant field radio relay operator in the front lines. He was sent to Korea and remembers it as being cold and a rough place.
