Anthony “AJ” Slater came upon a car crash where the sedan had burst into flames when it hit a tree. He ran to the car and began trying to save people. Besides the 30-year old driver, there were two crying kids. One was a 3 year-old boy and the other was a 5 year-old girl. He jumped into action and worked around the flames to try to free the children even as the fire lashed out at his own body. He was able to get the boy out. He turned around and began screaming for help to no avail and then went back to trying to get the little girl out, but the fire overwhelmed them. AJ ended up with third-degree burns on his arms and ear. “As parents we are as proud of him as we possibly could be,” said his Mom Terasa LaBarbera. “There are not too many people who would do what he did and AJ did it with zero hesitation.” AJ is facing multiple surgeries at Tampa General Hospital and his family has set up a GoFundMe to help with expenses. Thank you, Anthony, for giving that little boy the gift of life and working so hard to save his sister. She is now a beautiful Guardian Angel to so many. We appreciate you. — Nominated by AJ’s Aunt Kelli Rayne Wisham #WhosYourHero #NationalHeroesDay

Corey Comperatore was at candidate Donald Trump's rally in Butler, PA, when a 20 year-old with a long rifle began shooting at the presidential candidate. Caught in the crossfire, this former Fire Chief for Buffalo County, PA, immediately turned to the ones he loved to shield them and saved their lives. Comperatore was a highly ethical man of faith and those who knew him said he was just a good guy. Also an incredible husband and father. We honor you and pray for your family, sir. A GoFundMe was set up in his honor here. (Photo: FB) #CoreyComperatore, #Trumpshooting #WhoseYourHero #NationalHeroesDay

Roy Sturgis, 50, was in the parking lot of a grocery store in Fordyce, AR when a mass shooting began. He jumped out of his car and ran to help others where his cousin Callie Weems was already doing the same inside. He was shot in the chest and then this tough trucker drove himself to the hospital but later died. A family of heroes as Callie was killed rendering aid. We will remember you always as we remember Callie and Ellen Shrum and Shirley Taylor, all victims of the tragedy. May your beautiful lights shine on forever.

Callie Weems, a 23 year-old nurse, was at the grocery store in Fordyce, AR when a mentally ill man with a gun opened fire. As people began fleeing or dropping, Callie stopped to render aid to one of those wounded. That's when she was murdered. Callie, a new Mom, leaves her 10-month old little girl, Ivy behind as well as a family who loved her dearly. Could a soul be anymore beautiful? We will always remember Callie along with the others whose lives were senselessly cut short on June 21, 2024: 63-year-old Shirley Taylor, 50-year-old Roy Sturgis, and 81-year-old Ellen Shrum.
