    Juan Heredia.

    He is the "immigrant" recovering the remains of folks perishing in lakes, rivers, streams when the emergency crews strike out.

    Yes. At this moment in history, I need a real hero. He just completed a tough recovery at California's Placer County Rattlesnake Falls. But the one that really sticks with me happened closer to home. I helped search for the child, but it was Juan who performed the miracle.

    The "focused outward in service" aspect of Kris's pick appeals to me.

    Bob: Are you trying to make me tear up? :cry:

    Not a hero by any means. Just a mom looking for a job and tiring quickly of "phone" interviews.
