Martijn seeks four rescuers after 38 years so his mother can thank them

Omroep Brabant24 September · 18:301 hour ago

Martijn de Jong from Oudenbosch is searching for four men who saved his life in Collioure, France, on May 7, 1988, when he was swept into the sea by a wave at age fifteen. The men formed a human chain to pull him from the water before disappearing, leaving his family unable to express gratitude until now. De Jong posted a Facebook appeal to locate the rescuers, whom he estimates are now in their sixties or seventies, hoping his mother, aged 89, can finally thank them for saving his life during the holiday incident.
