One of those eveyday-guy heroes who suddenly make the news for an act of heroism, then imediately fade back into general obscurity is New York City Housing Authority employee Felix Vasquez.
Vasquez was in the right place at the right time to catch a three-week-old baby dropped from a third-floor window of a burning apartment building in the Bronx.
He noted that the little boy did not appear to be breathing and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which was sucessful.
Vasquez appeared on a number of news shows, and the city awarded him a Bronze Medallion for his heroic acts.
