I salute you one and all. Your hard work and unflagging dedication in the face of such tragedy reveals the best of the USN, NGOs, volunteers, and all other support staff. This American is proud. I am just a teacher here in south FL, but hope one day to get a chance to come aboard and see your work first hand. God's speed and smooth sailing. mewaddell@gmail.com
