    Congratulations to your Brother on getting those guys to safety. Another good reminder that accidents happen just too quickly...

    A well deserved recognition for an outstanding job. Could not imagine how the crew you pulled from the water feels. I'm sure they, along with their families, will never forget you!

    Apparently they were diverted from a previous SAR mission to assist these guys when the mayday went out. That's what the USCG said during the awards ceremony.

    Thanks to all of you guys for your kind words, I will pass them on to Lee. We are really proud of him!!! He busts his butt everyday out there just like alot of other guys too but it's good to see him get a little recognition for his efforts.
