To: The Mayor; All
Steve called again last night to say he'd been told there is a FEMA Respose slide presentation (14 pictures) on Hurricane Charley on the FEMA website.
(Federal Emergency Management Agency, under which DMAT falls now, under Homeland Security)

The person said Steve is the subject of the second slide.

I went to http://www.fema.gov and viewed it:

Steve Martin from the Florida Task Force stitches
up gash on Andrea William's leg inside the Disaster
Medical Assistance Teams (DMATS) tent at
the hospital in Punta Gorda.
She cut her leg while cleaning up after
Hurricane Charley.
DMATS were operating
the day after Hurricane Charley hit.

(No - Steve's head is not distorted!
There is a nurse to his left)

There actually is a V(eterinary)MAT component,
looking after animal victims of the storm.

The American Red Cross delivers dinner to
George Coolier whose home was heavily damaged.
The ARC and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief
is serving between 8000-10,000 meals a day.

Steve is working the night shift now, and had gone out to dinner for a change.
Said a few of them went to Applebee's, and the restaurant insisted upon treating them to their meal!

Thank you for posting these, Maggie! You have a wonderful son, who is doing our Lord's Work in tending the hurting and the wounded. May the Lord raise up many more just like him, is my prayer.
