President Bush Meets With Katrina HeroNice story here. Bush praised Darden's "heroic acts" during Hurricane Katrina, and said the city water meter reading supervisor represents "the can-do spirit here in Mississippi that is taking this situation and making things better."
Darden and several of his neighbors in the low-lying Turkey Creek community braved swift flood waters during the storm to rescue more than 20 people trapped in their houses. The rescuers swam, clung to trees and at one point tied themselves together and pulled people onto a small boat and took them to the safety of a nearby church on higher ground.
