President Joe Biden on Friday publicly hailed the heroic work of a U.S. Coast Guard member who saved lives through Hurricane Ian, though the service member isn’t satisfied with the congratulations because he’s facing discharge over Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The White House issued the call in a press release on Sept. 30, when the president personally thanked Zach Loesch—a Coast Guard Aviation Survival Technician (AST) Second Class—for saving Floridians impacted by the major storm system.
