I saw him interviewed. He was tearing up talking about those little girls. There are helpers everywhere, thank the universe.

A true hero!  I hope he and others get the recognition and praise usually heaped on "celebrities" and sports figures.

wow... every inch a hero! An inspirational and courageous person who showed us the best of humanity.
Thank you for posting this.
I'm thinking of Texans and all they are enduring right now and sending them big hugs and HOPE. What an epic tragedy. So very sad and so sorry for the people who are still waiting to hear the fate of their friends and family members. đź’ś

Yes...great point! Let's give this brave young man all the praise he deserves. THIS is a person worth celebrating and rewarding. Not sure I would have been so courageous in such a dangerous situation.
