I am thrilled to show you the first installment of what we are calling, "Eric's Heroes". Every Wednesday night in the 6pm newscast, I'll be telling the stories of good people doing good things for the right reasons. I couldn't be happier for the first one to be about Jose Enciso, one of the finest people I have ever come across. It is the story of one man and his relationship with America. The story was shot by Randy Carnell and Mike Perry. It was edited by Darrin Tegman. Meet more Heroes: KOMOn

I will never forget talking with this man, about life and war and the hardships he has faced without complaint. What an honor. This past week, on Veteran's Day, he got dressed up and ventured out into the world to remind people that he is still standing. In the process he reminded me (and you too, I predict) that the human spirit is a truly limitless and astounding thing. Art Palmer is my Hero.
