Lester Matteson in Shoreline, Washington is 92, lives in a log cabin and is probably the cutest man you’ll see today. He’s also a hero according to a group of third-graders in Tennessee (oh, and according to NewsFeed). Last December Matteson was robbed at home and the thieves duct taped him to a dining room chair. But, hero that he is, Matteson freed himself by chewing his way through the tape.

After hearing of this heroic feat, a group of third-graders dubbed Matteson the hero of 2011 and sent him a medal honoring him. How did the hero receive the honor? “Oh, I think they’re the heroes,” he said. “They’re the little heroes.” Consider your heart warmed, NewsFeeders. (via KVAL)
