Seriously, great job, marine!

A hero and a gentleman. He said he wasn't brave, it was the mother, who lost her own life, who was brave.

With all the bad news and ridiculous behavior lately, it’s nice to see humanity at it’s best.

Blanks, who now works in the security industry, is a former wide receiver and said the boy was 'twirling in the air like a propeller' as he fell

Phillip Blanks, 28, in the red t shirt, ran to the home in Phoenix on July 3 barefoot to try and help. He was able to save the child from the flames on the third floor balcony. The image shows as he dives to the ground to catch the boy in his arms as another neighbor helps

'I know how to catch. I've learned how to catch a football', he added

Two great heroes, the mom, although unfortunately deceased, and the marine.

Amazing story.

And nobody saw the race of the poor child, his deceased mom, or the hero Marine. That’s what America is supposed to be about!!! And it was until Obama came along.

Thank God he was there, what a terrible fate for the mother, but at least she knew her child was safe.

How is the kid? In the video it looks like the Marine might have broken the kid’s fall without really catching him.

A true hero mother helped by a former Marine.

So true. The catch has everyone's attention. Another man also was standing there to catch the child. Both men should be applauded.

But the mother was the true hero.

I’m glad he was around to catch the kid. It’s sad for the mother and I’m sure the boy will miss his mother.

That guy and his friend need a heroes welcome and a reward. Wonder If there is a trustworthy way to reward true heroes. GFM seems to be taken over by frauds in some cases.
