Alright, we have connectivity out here from time to time so I will be able to check in with you folks every now and then to keep you abreast of the
global goings on while keeping in toch with all that is entertainment and topically interesting to us. So as you knw, I left out with my Amphibeous
readiness group recently, and as well suspected we were quickly diverted to a real no shit in need place to deal with a crisis of epic proportions. If
you have to ask where, you need to turn on the news for five minutes and all curiosities will be quelled. My whole group is on station now in this
region of the world providing much needed relief operations along with a larger force of US naval vessels. If you were proud of these kids for what
they do in support of our country and it's allies, you would be even more proud to see how they have stepped up once again to help in any way they
can, even to a poor country who the cinics would say have nothing to offer our "military industrial complex". None of that matters and let me tell you
from first hand experience that 30 minutes upon our anchorage we began receiving critical medevacs and it is crucial that everyone takes time out to
understand the brevity of this. I know you folks will appreciate and emathize what it is I am about to share. We received our first medevacs today, a
child with amputation, a baby with sucking chest wound, another 3 or 4 day old baby with undisclosed trauma. these are but a few of the hundreds of
CRITICAL cases the US Navy has been rushing to assist. I can not emphasize the importance of what we are doing here and like I said I wanted to share
with those I know truly care. As operation unified response remains ongoing, we will be 100% dedicated to doing everything in our power to ease
suffering and loss of people who can not help themselves. This is the ultimate justification of defense spending Take care all, I will be in touch when I can.

Truly amazing.jonnynewbreed - 1-24-2010 at 07:54 AM
Canadian Navy is there too. I parked my car and watched them sail out early in the morning last week. I'm very proud of the work that's being done
there.
Great work Bob, I'm clapping for you and your ship mates right now.newbreedbrian - 1-24-2010 at 11:34 AM

Hey all, so things are moving quick here. I am now in Cuba ensuring much needed Humanitarian supplies get to the ships in as orderly a fashion as
possible. So crazy. More to come, just keep this region in your thoughts, they need it.Voodoobillyman - 1-26-2010 at 10:00 PM
Another report from cuba.
Today was spent getting crates of blood on to anything flying out to anything floating off the coast of Haiti right now. there are at least 4 ships
with surgical facilities capability and teams to back em. It gets hot here, but when you are doing something like this you don't even realize. i
haven't even sat down to eat a decent meal in two days. Constantly moving. Thank god for trail mix and camelbaks! Oh yeah and 5 minutes with an MWR
computer to check in with you jokers. More to follow
Take care all, I will be in touch when I can.
