The Air Force Thunderbirds honored Jonathan Bauer as a “hometown hero” before an Air Show that took place in Ocean City, Maryland, WJLA reported Friday.

In May, Jonathan saved an 18-month-old girl who was thrown into Assawoman Bay during a five-car accident on the Route 90 bridge. He jumped off the bridge and dropped more than 25 feet into the bay below to save the toddler.
