An ‘Everyday Hero’ is defined by WTMJ’s Wis. Morning News as “an average Jon/Jane Doe who, when they woke up one morning, had no idea they’d be saving a life.”

In Cental City, Nebraska: Edgar Estrada was preparing for round two of a roping tournament on a hot late August day when he heard a faint cry.
“At first, I thought they were goats. But something told me to keep looking,” he told KETV. He rode his horse FJ to the parking lot, where he discovered a young child locked in a car.
He used a knife to get the window open. The child is ok and now with foster parents.
“I’m not no hero,” he said. “I don’t know what that feels like. I just had common sense that day and put two and two together.”
Thank you Edgar for being an EVERYDAY HERO!!
