[QUOTE="Obi-Wan, post: 290619, member: 709"] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Roboto]BURLEIGH COUNTY, N.D. - Two Bismarck contractors are being called heroes after saving a 96-year-old man from drowning on the Missouri River. The two were working on a roof near Misty Waters Marina Friday and say they heard faint screams calling for help. The men raced down to the river and found the 96-year-old WWII veteran struggling to hold onto the cracking ice. They say they jumped into action without thinking. "It was just adrenaline kicked in and just trying to get him out of (the river), you know. Fast and out before, you know, more ice broke or anything like that; Get him in, get him warmed up and just call the ambulance," said contractor, Robert Brendel. The men briefly visited the veteran in the hospital and say he's recovering and even offered to take them fishing. That is one tough old guy [/FONT][/COLOR] [CENTER][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Roboto] [/FONT][/COLOR][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
