Page 4 2023 Hometown HEROES Magazine LINCOLN DAILY NEWS May 2023 What is a hero? How does one become a hero? Does every hero set a goal to someday be acclaimed as such?

They may not know that in the eyes of their family, friends, colleagues, or the people they serve, they are more than good, they are heroes. Continued --
