Mike Washington knows a thing or two about heroism.
The Marine Corps veteran has been a Seattle firefighter for 26 years. His son, Michael, gave his life at age 20 fighting terrorists in Afghanistan.
But Mike has never experienced anything like what his daughter is enduring right now.
Mike's daughter, Aja Collins, is an ICU nurse in Augusta, Georgia. "She is literally at the pointy end of the spear of this. She's on the front lines of this war," he said.
She works 12-hour days with coronavirus patients, putting her own safety at risk to save others.
"She's the person you want living next door to you," says Mike. "She's the friend you would want. She's the nurse you would want. She's the daughter I have and I won the lottery with my kids."
