The Today's Heroes series features everyday people who overcame great adversity to become modern-day heroes.

Through hard work, faith, and perseverance, Colin Powell rose through the ranks to become the first African-American to ever serve as the nation's top military commander---chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
