Off-Duty Heroes in the DMZ | Virginia Beach News
Description
A tour bus flipped over in the tense Korean DMZ, trapping 21 people — including off-duty U.S. airmen and soldiers who immediately sprang into action. Using a cracked windshield and bent wipers, five service members squeezed inside to pull everyone out, even rescuing a blind girl, while cutting themselves on glass. Their heroic, selfless response — rooted in military training — proved that service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. The Air Force praised their courage, highlighting how values like “service before self” shine brightest in crisis. One soldier from Manteo called the moment humbling — and unharmed — as they all stood tall in the face of chaos.
