ROCHESTER -- A pair of teens is being honored for their bravery. Micah Anderson and Daniel Buckley performed CPR to save a dying man's life.

The two are members of the high school marching band. It was performing in Pana for Labor Day when a local photographer, Gene Reed, collapsed. The boys jumped in and kept Reed alive until paramedics arrived.

Classmates and teachers are calling the teenagers heroes. But Micah and Daniel say they just did what they had to do. Both boys are trained in CPR but until now only practiced on dummies. 

Reed is still recovering in the hospital but a family friend says he is grateful to the boys for giving him a second chance at life.
