I've never had a hero like this

That's my cousin, Mike Zenk. He and his family are stationed over at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. Mike is an Air Force nurse. He and the crew that he works with fly in to Afghanistan and Iraq and pick up wounded soldiers and bring them back to the hospital on the base in Germany. Check out the article up above that explains more of what he does on a typical day. I am so incredibly proud to call him my family!
