Fireman Dana Gagliardi, a Boston native, poses for a picture about two weeks after he reported to Coast Guard Station Siuslaw River in Florence, Ore., Dec. 19, 2015. Six months after his arrival to station, and eight months after enlisting in the Coast Guard, Gagliardi rescued two young boys who had been pulled out by the tide while he was off duty at a local beach.
