Your chance to win an S&W/M&P 15 Rifle (UPDATE_- winner infrmation)
First of all, again, thank you to all the mods and admins that allowed me to post this fund raising event.
And thank you to all that participated so freely and quidkly "for the cause":clap:
We could not prepare for and do what we do, without the support of people like yourselves.
This is a great group of folks here and I'm proud to be here!:beer:
Unfortunately, the winning ticket was not from here.
It was drawn today at a little after 2pm EST, and the winner was a gentleman from Michigan who I had the pleasure of selling a ticket to as well.
Thank you once again for your support and well wishes. I share the comments and the fact that your site was one of the 1st to allow us, without hesitation to post the event. The team members were very humbled by your generosity:drink:
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Gordon
Marine Operations
FL3 Airboat Search & Rescue
As some of you know, I volunteer my time as an airboat operator with a locally based, deployable, Search & Rescue (SAR) team.
As an overview:
The team was formed and active during the Hurricane Katrina rescue and recovery effort, and is presently on both FEMA and State EOC lists for evacuation/search and rescue operations, whenever and wherever the need arises.
Members of our team have been involved in rescue and recovery efforts during the recent flooding in Georgia, and the Midwest, as well as the Tsunami in the South Pacific Islands.
We actively assist a variety of Law Enforcement Agencies through out the state in support roles, search & rescue, missing persons cases, and special operations functions.
The team was formed by and is presently staffed by numerous active and former LEO's, Firefighter/Paramedics, EMT's, Military and other specialized civilian members to include veterinary, medical, communications and logistics support.
Our Marine Division (my team) utilizes:
Airboats from 14'-22' LOA
Various Fixed Hull Vessels
Amphibious Vehicles
HoverCraft.
Other teams include:
First Aid/Medical Teams
Ground Search Teams
K9 Cadaver Dogs
Aerial Surveillance Vehicles
Dive Rescue/Swift Water Rescue Teams
Animal Rescue Teams
Side Scan Sonar Operators
and a host of other support staff.
All personnel are trained, certified, and/or licensed in their specialty (from Airboat Operators to communications personnel)
As you can imagine, it takes a lot to keep a team like this afloat (ok, a little pun there:tomato
.
The team is a registered (IRS 501c3) Non-Profit Organization and funded through donations, public and private grants, corporate sponsorship and the individual member(s).
