FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) — Every week, in partnership with the Florida Panthers, CBS4 puts the spotlight on a Hero Among Us.
These heroes are people who have gone beyond the call of duty for our country.
Today, we are meeting U.S Army Veteran Joseph De Marzo who served from 1943 to 1946.
Joseph De Marzo was drafted into the United States Army for World War II when he was 18 years old. He was assigned to central Europe where he fought in the Battle of the Rhine in France.
He was a tank commander up on top calling the shots and admits he was afraid, they all were, on D-Day when he gave commands to fire.
