Not live, but it just took place a few minutes ago.

If by chance anyone hasn't seen, here's footage of the rescue, and the waves he battles. You might want to keep it muted. I only endorse the video footage, not the commentary.

A very brave save, he is a hero. So many tourists don't pay attention to riptide flags. Riptides are frightening.

I don't get to the ocean very often. I can see this being the case.

A very well-deserved honor.

God bless young Master Williams and the younger life he saved.
