This 100% should’ve been headlined EVERYWHERE

[ray]

He saved not one, not two, not three, but four people. This kid should be going to the White House getting the Presidential medal of freedom.

[mlamont]

Do people understand how difficult what he did was? The adrenaline, stamina and endurance it takes to accomplish saving 4 people from the cold dark river at night. The sheer willpower it takes to not give in to fatigue.

[Prod_Beatzz]

As a former lifeguard let me tell you, saving one person from drowning is a struggle but saving 4 people? Man that’s very impressive. Glad he was there to make sure everyone’s okay.

[nitamckeethen]

He deserves a medal, a key to the city, and a full-ride scholarship to college. Thank God for this brave, amazing young man.

[nathanbranson]

I love how they let the kid tell the whole story himself rather than summarizing it to make the story shorter.

[zackarysun]

The fact that he was able to save 4 people from drowning without drowning himself is a miracle. Can you imagine how panicked the people he was pulling out were, they could have easily drowned him too. Buddy is the definition of a hero, he saved the day flawlessly

[Carol-ymbq]

I cried watching this. What he did took so much courage. He is truly a remarkable young man.

[RAconsciousness]

To go back 4 times into the dark, night water in Mississippi not once hesitating is beyond amazing. He is a true American hero.

[DukeLemonade]

This is a real hero. Not actors, musicians and celebrities. Shout out to the young man.

[jnieswartz]

This is why it's so important to know how to swim and stay calm! This young man is a hero

[alexs]

He did all of that by himself! And didn't realise the danger he put himself in! He deserves every medal, scholarship, Go Fund Me and everything great life has to offer.

[paulabartholomew]

This young man is remarkable and deserves only the best life can offer him.

[deeparoshnibhatoolaul]

"We are blessed to have you in this world" she said.
What a testimony what a hero.

[JustNinaJustLiving]

Not only did he save 3 girls but an officer too!!! He is truly amazing and i pray for more people like him.

[vxy]

This kid needs to be a candidate for the Cambridge award for private citizens who perform heroic acts.

[agnesgrey]

This 16 year old deserves to be recognized. He’s a hero and we’re grateful for him. He was their guardian angel.

[christinaulibarri]

A true hero, didn't think about himself, jumped in to action to save the lives of these girls and a police officer.

[kylahd]

Saved FOUR PEOPLE??? And he’s 16!? That is seriously heroic!!! I wish he got more national recognition but the Lord definitely will bless him! I hope he knows how amazing this accomplishment is

[jonthurlow]

That's freaking fantastic. A natural first responder in the making.
