70-Year-Old Marine Corps Vet Jimmy ‘The Cowboy’ Johnson Saves Neighbor From Norristown Blaze<\/h3>\n

By Steve Marroni<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 70-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran rushed into a burning home to save a man in Norristown Monday.
\nAlready a hero for his service, Jimmy \u201cThe Cowboy\u201d Johnson is being hailed once again for his heroic actions.<\/p>\n

Monday morning, Johnson saw smoke coming from a home on Swede Street, called 911, then went to the home to help, according to the Norristown Fire Department.<\/p>\n

With the help of some neighborhood kids, they kicked the door open and started yelling for everyone inside to evacuate. When Johnson was told someone was up on the second floor, the former Marine went into the burning building to save him, fire officials said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Johnson told the station he was only thinking about getting the man out of the home as quickly as possible, and the fact that he had no protective fire gear was the furthest thing from his mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t worried about that. That doesn\u2019t phase me. I was worried about saving his life,\u201d he told 6 ABC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It didn’t phase his pair of brass ones, either. Read the entire article here: PennLive<\/a>
