13 year old rescues 12 family members in Biloxi during storm

Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 11:15 AM by niceypoo

They waited, and some drifted asleep. Suddenly, the water rushed in. It came fast, penetrating every wall and window. They retreated to a living room that yielded no protection from the five-foot tide inside the house.

The babies began screaming, the adults panicked and, in that moment, 13-year-old Phillip Bullard began saving lives. Four adults and nine children, including himself.

Pretty bleemin�amazing story

1. Bless his heart. The courage of a 13 year old

Instead of labeling adolescents to be mindless jellyfish and giving up on them, perhaps it is time to show them Philip, who acted selflessly. I know there are a few million adults in this country who could learn a lesson from this young man. You go buddy!! :yourock:
