You can nominate someone in your life for Heartland Heroes

(KFVS) - Right here in the Heartland there are many individuals that go "above and beyond" and give so much of themselves.

There are people who you never forget, they touched your life in some way by giving of themselves, they are HEROES…

Because of the positive footprints they leave behind, KFVS wants to present their stories through feature segments which honor those who stand out as our "Heartland Heroes."

Help us by telling us their stories. We'll select four stories to feature in February.

To submit your Heartland Heroes, you can click here to fill out the form online. You'll have to scroll down to confirm your age first.
