MIAMI (CBSMiami) – 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.
This week we’re meeting U.S. Marine Corps veteran Staff Sergeant Danny Aguilar who is now a Lieutenant with Miami Fire Rescue.
Aguilar enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2002 where he served for 14 years. During his time in the military, he was a diesel mechanic, his day to day job was to fix trucks. Aguilar said that when you get deployed you don’t have a shop and so you have to make the repairs wherever you get a chance, so he learned to make do with what he had.
