What I like most about him is he doesn't seem comfortable with all the hero business. Looks to me like he honestly believes he was just doing his job.

I remember years ago a plane ran off an icy runway into the Potomac River. There was a lady in the water, a chopper hovering over her trying to get her to take hold of the lowered harness. She was too frozen and weak. The harness kept slipping out her grasp and she'd gone under a couple of times. You could see her weakening, giving up and realizing she was going to drown. Suddenly this guy comes flying off the snowy bank into the water. The dude pounds the water like a wild man out to her and saves her life. I remember telling people about the heroic man I'd seen on the TV. I also remember thinking long and hard, asking myself if I'd've had the guts to do what he did.
DH I to saw that clip several times, that man was a true hero! Lot's a people talk the talk and at times a few walk the walk. I remember the interview with that fine gentleman also and said he could not sit there and watch another human being die like that. Gives me chills to this day. Boys we point out the bad alot and there is alot of good out there to and some people that will lay their own life out for your's. It's nice to know they are out there and feel in my heart with God's help I would try to do it, I just hope I never have to find out.
