Well I do not usually talk about certain things I do. Mainly because I do not do them to be acknowledged. I do them cause like many others I care for human and animal kind.
But I just wanted to post a quick note, because I will be gone for a while. I volunteer as a search and rescue member. I am a SARTEC 2. That is a Search and Rescue Tech level 2.
In any case I am on my way to Haiti to help search for survivors and participate in recovery efforts.
I will let you all know when I get back. Sorry, but I refuse to take pictures of others suffering. So do not expect anything of that nature from me or any pictures from the region. When I am done with a search I find it easier to let what ever I have seen fade away. Pictures do not allow that to happen.
So till my return, which hopefully will be in a couple of weeks. You all take care and be nice to one another. I know my can will be here when I return. LOL.
Warmest Regards to All!

Craig – Wow, it just floored me to find out what you do. What a great service to other people in a time of great distress.
Good Luck, Stay Safe, and Be Strong
Just one question; are you going to take the “Can” to start the rebuild?

Its hard not to have the utmost respect for people that do what you do, good luck and stay safe!

Good luck and Godspeed.
My daughter is in the Navy (Avionics Technician – helicopters), serving aboard the USS Carl Vinson. Hopefully, she and her shipmates will be able to aid as well.
