May God Welcome them Home and comfort their family and friends.
Last Tursday (Thanksgiving) I was on a 47' Coast Guard boat that
picked up on of the fathers of the firefighters.
He is a merchant seaman who was on a tow barge only making about 5 knots.
We met the tow barge 25 miles offshore and brought him in the rest of the way.
The scene at dockside, with he and the mother reunited was heartbreaking.
Know that the entire community is doing everything to pay tribute to these 3 fallen Brothers.
Between the 3 of them they left 311 children,
Alll local food stores are taking donations for food etc.
