[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - An heroic Coast Guard swimmer who saved the life of a disabled woman during Hurricane Ian was publicly thanked by President Joe Biden on Saturday
- Despite the gratitude, Aviation Survival Technician Second Class Zach Loesch is due to be discharged within two months over his refusal to be vaccinated
- He is one of the 2,632 members of the Coast Guard who have refused vaccination
- In total, there are around 15,000 active servicemen and women who are facing discharge over their vaccine stance
- Loesch, who has applied for a religious exemption, said that he didn't bring up the vaccine mandate when speaking to Biden
- Most servicemembers who refuse the vaccine will be generally discharged meaning they can collect benefits and reenlist if they get the vaccine
