A New Jersey native, Petty Officer 3rd Class Scott Ruskan—making his first rescue mission with the Coast Guard—saved 165 people, including many children, at Camp Mystic during the catastrophic Texas flash floods. With roads inaccessible and currents too dangerous for boats, he took charge on the ground to triage victims and guide helicopter evacuations, offering comfort to terrified campers and adults alike. His bravery earned high praise from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who called him an “American hero,” though Ruskan humbly credited the entire rescue team for their efforts.
