Heroes of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
On February 14, a day in which most people celebrate love, a great evil took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Seventeen students and teachers lost their lives at the hands of a cowardly gunman who does not deserve to have his name mentioned. And while the entire nation mourns the loss of innocent lives, there were also heroes who emerged that day who deserve recognition.
Among them is Aaron Feis, the school’s assistant football coach and security guard, who witnesses say threw himself in front of students to shield them from bullets. Feis died later that day during surgery.
Football coach Willis May told the Orlando Sentinel that Feis responded to the initial call on the school’s security radio walkie-talkies. May recalls that when someone on the radio suggested the gunshots may have been firecrackers, Feis responded, “No, that is not firecrackers.” That was the last the staff on the radio heard from him.
