we saved this old man a couple months back

Recommended Posts

We ran into this old man that almost drove off the cliff as we stopped to see what was going on , he walked off backwards off the cliff so my brother went down after him we used the winch cable to let my brother down about 15 feet the only thing that held the old man was a plastic fender flare we went back up to find the old man cane, shoes , and hat and after the rain the fender flare got washed away he was so lucky that we happened to pass by, we were there for about 5 hours and not one truck passed buy I ran up and called the sheriff and they air lifted him out the guy lived he was 90 + he was a pearl harbor vet .

Kudos to you and your brother. Should we ever meet you're welcome at my campfire. T-Bones and Suds are on me should we ever cross paths. This guy is one of our last Heroes but we can all rest assured his legacy lives on through the two of you.

Prdatr out.

So did this guy walk off the cliff while you guys were there or was he already down there when you drove up? Sure is awesome to see that you were there to help this man out. I can't imagine the desperation he mustve been feeling. Good for you all.

Great job we are fast approaching the day our WW II veterans will no longer be with us and this action keeps at least one more around a little longer.

Well we driving down the road in are buggys and I see this suv backing up real fast so im like whats going on ,as I turned the corner he was going off the cliff he had the gas pedal to the floor he got out and walked off the cliff backwords my heart dropped he was screaming I don't want to die , I already had a strap in my had so my bro grabbed and jumped off then I hooked him to the winch and took about a hour to pull him up because I had to pull him up try to hold it then pull my brother up then tighten the winch and so on what we found out was he was lost for some time and didn't have his meds so he was mind wasn't there I have helped a lot of people and I can say this was the hardest one .

Pat on the back to you guys. He is lucky you showed up when you did. It is a desolate, rough area to have problems in.
