Five local residents were among the six people recently recognized as Everyday Heroes by American Red Cross of Eastern Iowa. The Red Cross annually recognizes individuals nominated for their lifesaving efforts. The breakfast event honoring the individuals also raises money for the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign to provide free fire alarms and fire prevention education. Four individuals were recognized for coming to the aid of a man suffering a medical emergency during last year’s Hempstead High School graduation ceremony, held May 28 at Dalzell Field in Dubuque. And one man was recognized for performing CPR in three different instances in Dubuque County.
