Mounted search and rescue

["BC911" <usark9@warpdriveonline.com>]

A big congratulations!
I understand the mixed feelings that you are having as do, I'm sure, many
others on this list.
Many of us have been directly in the path of finding death. While it is a
sad ending, there is a sense of pride that you can take with you that you
have indeed helped a family come to final closure. Only those that have been
involved in such an event can appreciate the good that it does for a family
to finally find the deceased.

Never forget 9/11. Many of  those families that never found as much as a
part of their lived ones have still not found complete closure.

Congratulations for a job well done!

Life is not a journey to the grave
with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body,
    but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
           and loudly proclaiming
                    --WOW--
                  What a ride!
