Warrants do exist. Good thing for a Vietnam Vet on the Appomattox. Poetrooper sends.<\/p>\n
LIZ GEORGE<\/strong><\/p>\n A U.S. Army soldier rescued a Vietnam War veteran from a Virginia river earlier this month after he fell out of his boat.<\/p>\n Mike Goodwin, 75, was fishing in the Appomattox River when he lost his balance and toppled into the freezing cold river.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I reached back for the anchor rope, I just went right over,\u201d Goodwin told CBS 6 on March 14.<\/p>\n The elderly fisherman, who is also on oxygen, was left clinging to the side of the boat, unable to pull himself up.<\/p>\n \u201cI got ready to turn loose a few times, just couldn\u2019t do it,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Chief Warrant Officer Chris Miserlian had just finished class at Fort Lee and was preparing to go fishing at the same river not far from where Goodwin was trapped.<\/p>\n Eventually, Miserlian noticed a boat without anyone in it.<\/p>\n \u201c[Then] I thought I heard a cry for help,\u201d he said, noting that he wasn\u2019t sure what the sound was because he had forgotten to wear his hearing aid that day.<\/p>\n After moving closer to the sound, Miserlian realized he \u201cdefinitely heard somebody holler for help.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
