On January 11, 2010, Alexandre Duperré and François Bergeron saved two men from drowning after a wave carried them far from shore, in Santa Clara, Cuba. Alerted to the situation, Messrs. Duperré and Bergeron rushed through the rough water toward the distressed victims. They reached the exhausted men and, struggling against the strong waves, brought them safely to shore.
