“True Hero”: Director Of Girls Camp Gives His Life Trying To Save Kids During Texas Flooding

Tributes are pouring in for those who lost their lives in the fatal floods in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend.

One of the most talked-about losses is that of Dick Eastland, who ran Camp Mystic, where some of the most devastating destruction occurred, and who was credited as being a hero for helping save some of the campers’ lives. 

Now, as rescue efforts turn to recovery, memories of Eastland’s outsized role at the camp are pulling the heartstrings of those who knew him, and even those who didn’t.
