Well, the video was a hit. It was picked up by WSBT-TV in South Bend and by Newschannel 3 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. ABC reached out and asked "Hello, I'm with ABC News. I hope that you are doing well! Did you shoot this video? if so, may we have your permission to use it across all ABC platforms/partners with credit to you?"
Glad to help! Actually, I'm most pleased to assist the people who trained the responders and provided the rescue craft.

We had a very full day today and stopped by the Warren Dunes State Park late in the afternoon. There are permanent signs posted about the dangers of rip currents, but there are always some swimmers in the water even when the red flag is up.
Today, a young man was rescued after he was pulled into the lake by a rip current. The emergency responders did a fine job, while we all looked on. One very lucky guy.
