Caleb Michael Collins, 22; Spc. Shyhein Andrews, 21; both from Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, and a friend visited the Halona Beach Cove on the shore of Hawaii. <\/p>\n<p>A wave knocked Andrews off the ledge of the Halona Blowhole, and Collins dove off the 25-foot ledge to try to save him. Collins managed to reach Andrews, but a large wave swept the two men out to sea and they apparently drowned in the rough surf.<\/p>\n<p>Collins was with 524th Sustainment Support Battalion, 25th Sustainment Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, the news report said in referring to a release.<\/p>\n<p>He was honored for his courageous actions, disregarding his own safety and risking his life to try to save a fellow soldier, according to the news report.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No greater love&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Tango sends us a link to the story of Army Specialist Caleb Michael Collins, who &hellip; <a title=\"Spc.
