Fox News<\/a> reports the sad news that Maryland Guardsman Eddison Hermond’s body has been found in Maryland after he was swept away by raging flood waters;<\/p>\n

Hermond is a sergeant assigned to Camp Fretterd in Reisterstown, Md. He joined the Maryland Army National Guard in 2009 after serving in the Air Force for more than a decade. <\/p>\n

Kate Bowman told the Baltimore Sun that Hermond was trying to pull her to safety when he \u201cwashed away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI could barely see anything and I could barely hear anything,\u201d Bowman, 41, told the newspaper. \u201cHe stepped over the ledge to try to get to me, and he was washed away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowman said she fled her shop, Clipper\u2019s Canine Caf\u00e9, with her cat through a window because the rainwater flooded the area. The water was waist-high when Hermond spotted her. <\/p>\n

Bowman said the rescue \u201chad nothing to do\u201d with her cat.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was trying to save me,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cHe\u2019s a hero.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
