I am happy for him. It's not often you get a chance to make a difference like that.

These last two and the next few days will be the sacrifice he doesn't know he is making until 10-20 years from now.

Your rescues will fade in time, but you can never forget your recoveries.

How do you mean sacrifice?

My guess would be mental health.

Your rescues will fade in time, but you can never forget your recoveries. [emphasis mine]

“Recoveries” likely means finding the people who didn’t survive.

Broadfern is 100% correct.

What was Ruskan’s role in the rescue?
He was in charge of triage and helped coordinate the evacuation of people from a flooded summer camp.
