Decades ago, Coast Guard veteran Rikio Izumi saved the lives of 2 children washed out to sea amid hurricane conditions. Now 70 years later, the 92-year-old SoCal veteran is finally getting the honor he deserves
LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Seventy years after he should have received it, Rikio Izumi was awarded the National Defense Service Medal for serving in the Coast Guard.
"It was an amazing process and journey for all of us, and then to culminate that with being here at this ceremony and where he receives this medal after seven decades," said Lance Izumi, Rikio's son "Two children had washed out to sea and my father jumped into the ocean during hurricane winds, rough seas, terrible currents, and was able to swim out to them, grab them, hoist them up with his arms and swim backwards on his back to shore," he described.
