This dude is my hero

Jeremy Hernandez found himself in a tipping school bus with 50 children inside as the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed beneath him. "[H]e kicked open the back door and began helping them one by one to safety." For his heroism, Hernandez, who had to drop out of an automotive repair program because he could not afford the $15,000 tuition, was given a bunch of scholarships and private donations.

But if you don't think that's cool enough--you heartless bastard--here's the coupe de grâce for the doubters:

He spent the weekend fishing. When President Bush’s staff contacted him to request a photo opportunity, “He was just, like, ‘Nope,’ ” she said.

Mr. Hernandez, you are my hero.
