President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he will honor a Santa Cruz lifeguard with a “high civilian honor” at the White House for a dramatic rescue. The 16-year-old lifeguard saved a young boy from being pulled out to sea by strong waves at Seabright Beach.
According to reports, the lifeguard intervened when the child was caught in powerful surf. The lifeguard then fought against the tide to reach the boy and bring him safely back to shore. Trump stated that he intends to invite the heroic teenager and his family to the White House, potentially along with the child he rescued.
"Very brave, he deserves it!" Trump wrote in his social media post.
