Now, the Orange Beach community is looking for the anonymous hero to honor him
The harrowing incident happened around 1:30 p.m. at Alabama Point.
Rachael Callahan says she had just sat down to relax on the beach when all of a sudden, she noticed someone struggling in the water. “I had just looked out at the water and I saw what I thought was a young boy going up and down. I thought I was watching someone die- it was scary and I just jumped up, ran out there and said ‘somebody’- screaming- ‘help him, help him’” she said.“This little boy ran right past me. He was about 18. He did not hesitate. He got to the person, and they went to the side in the current. And he got up to the shore and I saw it was a lady.
“Mother’s Day is hard for myself. I lost my child when he was 9 and I wouldn’t want anyone to grieve and go through that. I told that boy yesterday- I said, I was visibly shaken- and I told him, ‘you just don’t realize what you have done.’ He was just so sweet. He just kept saying ‘yes ma’am, yes ma’am’ and he was really humble about it,” she added.Callahan just wants to honor his heroic act.
“We hear so much bad about our young people these days and yesterday showed me there’s still good people. His parents should be proud of him. They’ve raised a good boy,” she said.
