On the evening of May 1, 2014, 8 year old Marty Cobb and his 12 year old sister were playing along the railroad tracks near their home. A stranger approached them and began to sexually assault the young girl.
8 year old Marty Cobb came to his sister's defense and attempted to thwart the attack. The attacker struck Marty with a brick to the head and he died at the scene.
What Marty did was exemplary of the bravest acts carried out by our most well-trained and hardened members of law enforcement and military.
He thought only of his sister's well-being and reacted in the only way he could, attempting to save her from harm.
Please recognize his courage and let it be an example to others for how heroes come in all sizes.
