Someone you should know: Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Ros (http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/guard-reserve/2015/05/31/joseph-ros-dies-saving-children-memorial-day/28089349/)

SFC Ros saved 4 children from a rip tide. He didn't make it.


A 26-year member of the Texas Army National Guard died after rescuing his children from a riptide on Memorial Day.


Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Ros, with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 386th Engineer Battalion, began his career in uniform in 1989 and served with several engineering units, according to a Thursday news release from Texas' 176th Engineer Brigade.


Three of Ros' children and another child were being pulled under by the current at Matagorda Beach on Monday when Ros and another rescuer leaped into the water to save them, Matagorda County Sheriff's Department Sgt. James Orr said Friday. The children were brought back to shore safely, but Ros didn't make it out of the water under his own power.

On this one we can agree. A man who risks his life for others just because it's the right thing to do raises quality children.
