								<p>Nolan Greenwood says he went to Orange, Texas on Wednesday to aid rescue efforts during widespread flooding. There, he and fellow rescuers came upon a single father and his one-year-old triplets trapped in their home.</p>
															<p>"It was actually pretty touching," Greenwood said. Touching because the family is a mirror image of his own. </p>
																							<p>He is also a single father of triplets. </p>
																							<p>"I know the struggle of everyday life. It's all about paying it forward. That's the bottom line," he said.  </p>
																							<p>So Greenwood said he was prepared to do whatever it took to get the family safe, "We decided to make it our mission."</p>
																							<p>"We were able to load them up and take them out to high ground where they could be shipped to Lafayette or Alexandria," Greenwood said.</p>
																							<p>Mission complete. </p>
																							<p>Greenwood says he lost his wife around this time last year.  David Dickey, his best friend of 30 years, said being a single dad with triplets has been really tough for him. "It's pretty emotional, man. I'm trying not to be a big baby on camera." </p>

																			<p>Dickey says the encounter was more than just luck, "What are the odds? It's divine intervention. If that's not the definition of divine intervention I don't know what is." </p>
																							<p>"They were ready to get out of there. They had no electricity for couple of days. I think yesterday was their second day without electricity. So they were grateful to get out," Greenwood said.</p>
																							<p>And Greenwood is grateful to them. He says the family saved him too. </p>
																							<p>"It doesn't matter your color, your race. None of that matters out here. The whole point is to love your neighbor and get people out," Greenwood said.</p>
																							<p>Afterward, he took to Facebook asking whether anyone knew the dad. Several people said they want to help the family get back on their feet. </p>
																							<p>Greenwood said he and his family helped save six people in one day. </p>
																							<p>And he said they aren't done yet. <br/></p>
