## Caption

"I think I was a little more nervous than her." Coast Guard Petty Officer Scott Ruskan discussed the “surreal experience” of being honored at President Trump’s State of the Union and receiving the Legion of Merit for saving 165 people during the deadly July flooding at Camp Mystic. The rescue swimmer told ABC News Live that it was a “full circle” moment to reunite with 11-year-old Milly Cate McClymond — one of the girls he saved. #ScottRuskan #CampMystic #CoastGuard #StateofTheUnion #News
