On July 4, 2025, catastrophic flooding devastated Texas Hill Country communities when nearly 12 inches of rain caused the Guadalupe River to rise over 26 feet in just 45 minutes, endangering thousands as they slept. Coast Guard Air Station Corpus Christi launched helicopter CG-6553, whose crew — despite severe weather and three aborted landing attempts — fought through to lead rescue operations. Rescue swimmer AST3 Scott Ruskan was the only first responder on the ground for over three hours at Camp Mystic, triaging and coordinating the rescue of 165 lives. This resolution commends the Coast Guard crew and the 54 personnel who sustained continuous rescue operations, and extends gratitude to all federal, state, and local first responders who helped Texas in its time of need.
