A Hero Sandwich in Honor of a True Hero

The town has been all abuzz with the recent tragic news of the killing of Officer Jack Maguire.

Maguire sacrificed his life so Woburn could be safe. For that we will be eternally grateful.

I really wanted to do something to honor him so I developed a simple Hero Sandwich recipe.
