Four American brothers who were in Ireland for their grandfather’s funeral became heroes after saving a 6-year-old girl from drowning at a beach.
Walter, 21, twins Declan and Eoghan Butler, 18, and their brother-in-law Alex Thomson, 24, were making the most of the picturesque Dublin shoreline on a sunny July 22 in 2019. All was well until approximately 2:20 p.m., when the brothers, from Virginia, heard a man yelling frantically for the attention of the lifeguard.
