Last week\u2019s rescue occurred when six Marine Corps Body Bearers who finished performing a funeral ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, spotted Virginia Waller-Torres in distress.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Waller-Torres can be seen trapped within the rising flood waters during a downpour just outside the cemetery. When suddenly, the six servicemen rushed over to rescue her. All six men were able to successfully push the woman\u2019s car under an overpass as police arrived on scene and took over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was like they were sent from somewhere else, from a higher power,\u201d said Waller-Torres. \u201cI thought I could die, a truck could hit us. And it was as though, somebody heard me.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis is the most American thing ever.

Following the rescue, Waller-Torres was reunited with two of the six Marines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just about doing the right thing when no one\u2019s looking,\u201d said one of the Body Bearer rescuers., Cpl. Jared Tosner. \u201cWe weren\u2019t expecting anyone to be recording or looking. We just wanted to do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both servicemen said although their team wasn\u2019t aware they were being filmed, they hope their actions inspire others to step up when duty calls.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-lankford-grills-dhs-secy-mayorkas-on-afghan-evacuee-numbers\/\">Sen.
