  1. Not sure if you can help, but there is a mother on shore looking for word on her little boy named Pierre Richard who was taken to the Comfort with a double compound fracture of the skull. If anyone is able to get any info, please contact the folks at http://www.bhm.org/bhm/lang-en/who-we-are/contact-us.html so they can pass it on.

    Pierre Richard is referenced in the following blogs:

    As a former CTT1, I praise God for the US military and the men and women supporting the USNS Comfort!
