1:20Now PlayingPresident Trump announced he will reward a Santa Cruz lifeguard with a “high civilian honor” after he saved a little boy from monster waves that sucked him into the surf. The16-year-old lifeguard dove into the water and fought the powerful tide to reach the child and bring him back to shore at Seabright Beach. “We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor.
