A jammed gun was all that stopped an al-Qaida terrorist from shooting Sgt. Jesus “Gabriel” Cadena in the head.
Growing up on Hungry Hill in Chicago Heights in the '90s, Jesus “Gabriel” Cadena saw frequent gang battles in his neighborhood. And he watched a teen cousin die in a freak accident. But nothing prepared him for what he'd experience in the streets of Iraq. The day a bullet jammed in a terrorist gun aimed at his head is one he will never forget. But that isn't where Cadena's story begins. “I joined the military in 2002," Cadena said. "I watched TV when the towers came down, I thought to myself, 'I needed to do something.' I felt I needed to join the Army and do something for my country, so I joined the military after 9/11.” Cadena born and raised in Chicago Heights, joined the Army in 2002 and got out May 5, 2010.

A look at new businesses coming into town and a fond farewell to those that have, for whatever reason, called it quits.

Paralyzed from the waist down at the age of 28, the Rev. William P. Anderson was diagnosed with six major afflictions, each one carrying a potential death sentence.

Patch stopped by the non-denominational church, at 34 E. 16th St., to learn more about their history and their vision. Patch: How long have you been in Chicago Heights? Anderson: The church has been in existence for 28 years, we have been in Chicago Heights for …
