Great job to the young boys who have the courage to help others.

It's a great lesson for parents as well to teach safety measures, and positive reinforcement that the BSA is a worthwhile program!

Ethan, you are truly a great young man. Don't ever forget the promptings you felt to save your little brother. The court-of-honor was wonderful. The SF firefighters were there to show their admiration and many of your neighbors and friends. We are grateful to have been able to be a part of this great day with you.
