The young lifeguard held onto Nathaniel and sought to bring him to shore, despite powerful waves crashing around them. Mr. Trump praised Williams for his bravery, and congratulated Nathaniel for making it through the ordeal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re honored to have all of you. And again, what you did was incredible,&#8221; Mr. Trump said to the young lifeguard. &#8220;And everybody saw it. And you&#8217;d watch it over and over. I know when I first saw it, I said, &#8216;Roll that back, I want to see that again. Is that really happening?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nathaniel&#8217;s father, Sumit Rai, was also in the Oval Office and thanked Ryder, saying he&#8217;s &#8220;beyond grateful&#8221; for his son&#8217;s rescue. Rai said he is grateful the family will get to celebrate his son&#8217;s 11th birthday on Tuesday. Rai told &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; earlier this month his son was &#8220;a second or two away from dying&#8221; when Williams arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe lifeguards don&#8217;t get the
