Local Hero Wins Free Membership

The next time you see Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy Gary Armstrong, congratulate him on winning the 2016 Cass County Family YMCA’s Local Hero Contest! He was nominated by his daughter Karli. I’ll let her do all the talking:

Karli says of her father: “ From saving me from spiders or childhood nightmares to saving Cass County from all the bad guys, Gary Armstrong has always been a true superhero. He’s been in law enforcement for over 25 years and has been changing lives ever since he first put on a uniform. One of the most admirable qualities my father has is he’s always helping others, even when he’s not wearing his badge. There have been countless times where we’ve been out as a family while he’s off duty, and he has pulled over to help someone having car troubles or some other kind of difficulty. He’s always willing to put his life on hold to help others. He faces a chance of not coming home every time he puts a uniform on, but he never fails to put others in front of him anyways. With everything that’s been going on in the world lately, it’s important that we still show support and appreciation for all of the hard-working officers out there. Gary Armstrong is an accurate representation of what a real superhero should be.”
