My husband Nick is a hero in our city of Chicago Heights, Illinois. He has been a firefighter/paramedic for 10 years and serves his community with pride. He also serves on the South Suburban Emergency Response Team (SSERT). Nick is selfless and consistently puts others before himself.

The job of 911 dispatch is an emotional roller coaster. Aaron is the reassuring voice on the end of what could be the worst call of someone’s life and then makes sure that the right emergency service gets to the right place with the right information.

Received the first Purple Heart from our City. I and a county officer where critically cut up by a mental patient. We had to shoot him to end the blood shed.
