Suppose you know I'll be weeping and smiling and laughing - all at once - the remainder of the day as I share it with everyone I know!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart ~ ~ ~

An UNLIKELY hero? The man is a United States Marine, for crying out loud.

It's an absolute mathematical certainty: Marine + a window of opportunity = Hero, QED

Thank you for calling to this amazing story. I had heard details of the two rescued men but not the rescuers.

Your post Norman, says it all for me. Not surprising at all for a Marine. And thanks to LadyX for the "heads up!"

[ChuckHam]

My pleasure. It's not often I find something as good as this to put up.

As a current 1stSgt, I must pass this to all my Marines. This is what we do!
