Staff Sgt. Jozsef Nagy, an Internet services technician with the Air Force Weather Agency, was attending a network management training class at Kessler Air Force Base, Miss., when he and fellow classmates took a day trip to Pensacola Beach, Fla. Sergeant Nagy said it was a beautiful day, and the beach was packed with people soaking up some weekend sun. He was wading in the water when one of his classmates yelled, “Are those kids in trouble?”
Imagine the interview attempt:
"So Sergeant Nagy, in the course of the rescue did you desecrate any Korans? ...no? Pack up the camera Billy, there's no story here."
Way to go SSgt Nagy!!!
These guys are always heroes...on duty or off, active or retired, soldier or civilian.
bump for a hero
Outstanding!!!
Kids obviously aren't aware of the undertow. Each time they bounced or left their feet the undertow would take them a little further out until they were eventually over their heads without realizing it it. The Sgt called it the waves but the waves move toward shore not away from it. As the water recedes it does so from underneath and is unnoticable by looking at the surface. Can be very dangerous for unsupervised kids and poor swimmers.
