On his wedding day, Petty Officer Zac Edwards spotted a drowning teenager and swam 150 yards to save him. Two years later, he receives one of the nation’s highest coast guard honors for the heroic deed.
My son in law to be was a Coastie, doing drug interdiction and illegal immigration. So nice to see such a postive story and share it showing how a Coastie is always ready.

Gotta love the Coast Guard! They saved some idiot friends of mine back in the day.
Thought about applying once but was already way too old at that point in time. I was 30...
A much needed feel good story. Thanks Perrie.
Kudos to Petty Officer Zac Edwards.
Semper Paratus the CG motto meaning ''Always Ready''.
Contrary to popular belief, the Coast Guard's primary function is as lifesavers - which they do outstandingly.
Semper Paratus PO Edwards. You definitely live up to your calling.
Costies rock! His wife must be so proud.
