We are hearing from a Coast Guard crew that has been working tirelessly to save lives in Kerr County. They were honored on Friday for saving so many lives.

The mission proved to be much more arduous than expected for her and her small crew of four, all of whom are first tour aviators.

The team deployed around 7 a.m. Friday from Corpus Christi, about 200 miles south of where the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, Texas, had risen from about 3 feet to nearly 30 feet. Floodwaters in the area had swept through and battered several youth camps on the river banks — including Camp Mystic, the summer camp where they were headed.
