Presidents Greeneville, Tenn. 1962

Drum Corps News Sept. 12, 1962 issue

SEVEN CORPSMEN from the Greeneville, Tenn. Presidents were credited with helping to save the lives of a family of five whose car plunged into a Jacksonville, Fla. canal July 14. The corpsmen were across the street standing in front of the National Guard Armory Annex, where their corps was housed while participating in the 1st annual Southeastern "Parade of Champions", when the car swerved off the expressway and crashed upside down into the canal. The seven youths jumped into the canal and pulled the mother, father and two children to safety. While diving for the youngest child, a two-year-old boy, they were joined by a Jacksonville policeman who managed to find the tot after three diving attempts while the seven corpsmen lifted the car. The hero youths were honored that night in the Gator Bowl for their courageous action, credited with saving the lives of the family, and on their return home were cited by the City of Greeneville and the Andrew Johnson Post, V.F.W., their sponsors.
