All of us at 101.5 KNUE are proud to be part of East Texas, and we are especially proud to live in a place where we hold our military and first responders in such high regard.

KNUE + Patterson UTI are proud to announce this week’s “Hometown Hero," Eddie Arnold, an Emergency Medical Technician from Winnsboro.

Mr. Arnold was nominated by Toshia Spence. Here's what she had to say about Eddie:

Eddie is the most kind-hearted person I know. He really cares for the people he is taking care of! He has two little girls and an amazing wife whom he loves wholeheartedly. I know if I needed someone I would want him to be there on scene to care for me.

To show our appreciation for Eddie's dedication and service to his country and community, he will receive a plaque courtesy of Tyler Trophy. They specialize in awards, engraving, trophies, plaques, gifts and more.

Thank you for your service, Eddie, and we are proud to call you a fellow East Texan.
