Norm Stanley from Ft. Myers, a veteran was honored for a daring a helicopter rescue. In June 1966 as an aircraft commander flying Chinook helicopters out of Pleiku Air base, mostly on supply missions. But as there was no one else to save these heroes lives because all rescue helicopters were busy and not around. He went back hovering over the jungle and evacuating 58 wounded troops carrying and putting them on the helicopter one by one until they were all saved. He was giving a medal for this extraordinary rescue. Other than the Distinguished Flying Cross, Stanley has more than 20 air medals. In my opinion this is what heroes do, he went and saved these people's lives with very little training on how!

Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos new quarterback for the past few games has leaded this team to another devastating victory. Since Tebow has taking over the Broncos the team has gone 4-1 with an overall record of 5-5. From the beginning fans doubted Tebow saying he would never make it in the NFL but the games he has played in have leaded them to victory. This was a big game to win and an upset for the jets. The Broncos now sit just a half-game back of Oakland. This is an inspirational story about how anything can happen. I feel Tim Tebow is the Rookie quarterback of the year.
