A soldier with the U.S. Army Task Force Oceania saved a toddler who was drowning. Sergeant Anthony Tunstall was at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii with a team of soldiers when the boy, a son of an employee, was found in a lagoon.
The child’s “seemingly lifeless body” was pulled from the water and Tunstall, who is a trained EMT, rushed to help. According to the Army, he did CPR on the tot and was able to revive and stabilize him until paramedics arrived.
“I’m just thankful that I was in the right place at the right time so that I could provide medical assistance,” Tunstall says. “I’m grateful for all of the medical training that the Army has put into me. That training means that a young child can continue to experience life.”
