Hero's tale

Six-year-old Andy Hitt, son of Senior Master Sgt. Kevin Hitt, Air Armament Center, tells Col. Bill Porter, 96th Air Base Wing vice commander, about his heroic rescue June 24 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Andy was recognized by the base fire department for saving his 3-year-old brother Alex (also pictured) from drowning in March. As part of his recognition, he was made an honorary firefighter, sat in a fire engine and fired the water cannon. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
