White House, DHS praise Coast Guard hero who helped save 165 lives during Texas floods


The White House is honoring U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Scott Ruskan for his extraordinary bravery after saving 165 lives during the catastrophic Texas floods, a rescue effort that was not only his first-ever mission but one carried out under some of the worst flying conditions his team had ever faced.

“Scott Ruskan and his aircrew saved 165 lives on their first mission during the Texas floods,” the White House posted Monday on X.

“From the U.S. Military to first responders and volunteers — these brave Americans remind us who we are. When disaster strikes, they don’t run from the storm. They run into it.”
