The Rescue Of New Orleans

[DammitBobby]

Wow Brian,Great post thanks for sharing your thoughts and stories. The news never does a good job reporting the events. Thanks for serving are country we are greatful for the job you do!

Other note, Dam rods and pistons are expensive!!

[WDRacing]

Especially when you I can't settle for anything other then the ones I want, which also happen to be the most expensive. Such is life...

[AZhitman]

Dammit, Brian.

I'm sitting here in the Memphis airport, sleep-deprived, sunburnt, dehydrated and exhausted - and now crying as I read that story.

Makes me wonder if I'd be "man enough" to do what you guys are doing. God bless you and your squadron.



I've got something special planned for that post....

Brian, you kick ***. Thank you for going down there and doing what you did. The fact that you remain strong and positive about people and the future is a serious testament to your strength of character. On this same page we have stories about people who go down there to help and end up coming back even worse off then they were. To see something like this, to do what you did, and come back better for it is the mark of a truly strong person. Lots of respect, Brian, lots of respect.

Brian,

One of my relatives has asked me for photographs that show what happened in New Orleans ... the web site images she has looked at so far are remarkably bare of such clear depictions of the mess there.

Would it be okay with you if I sent her your pictures to use? I think she is planning to use them in her class for education purposes (she is an asst professor at UCSF.)

Kate,

Perry and I would like to take you up on meeting the local ladies. AND...since u like to cook... we're hungry too... we also want to hear how your day is... then we can go up to Greg's and you can chat with Stacey. Sound fun? cool.

Love,Dano

P.S. I gave Bri permission to sell your car and spend it on the 240... we'll get u a nice Kia or something with the leftover



Bri, your post brought a tear to my eye as I read what you guys went through, I can't even fathom the events and tragedies you witnessed, but you are a hero, to me, to us. Your crew and other rescuers are just as heroic, make sure they know that.

Lova ya bro,

-Dan

Save the world one life at a time. I have the utmost respect for you and your crew. It is people like you and all others helping that are what makes this country so great.

This is how I feel.

Regardless of how many times we can call you a hero, each one of those survisors your crew rescued will forever be grateful for your courage and dedication. To them, you are THE hero.

Thanks Brian.

[Repo Man]

Your beer is still in my fridge brother. Any time of day, any day of the week...

[matt4pl]

Great read... I really do agree with everyone's praise and then some. What you guys are doing is so above and beyond what most just imagine. I say lets all donate a buck or two to get you those pistons...

I have the utmost respect for you and all the other people who put there lives on the line to help others! I am a firefighter and I know what it's like to put to put your life on the line for others. I, however, have never been shot at while trying to help them! Keep up the good work!

[WDRacing]

It's fun at times, but like anything else, at times it sucks ***.

Stacey loves me...especially when she has to tell her kids not to repeat anything I say after I leave.

The important thing to remember is that a lot of these poor souls had no vehicle to get into, no money to pay for a hotel, no family to turn to; literally no place to go.

Nick

Most of that isn't true at all. You don't have a vehicle, take a bus(it's cheaper, especially on long trips). No money, that's your own damn fault(remember, everyone has the same opportunities in this country, also, you don't have to go to a hotel, there are these neat things called rest stops and parks), for the no family to turn to thing, either they don't have any, or their family doesn't like them much(the latter of the two is probably their own damn fault).

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you can't make excuses for their stupidity.

Yes this was a disaster, but thousands of lives would have been saved had they made an educated decision

[Gold Digger]

Stepping up to the plate, clean up batter WDRacing and his helo crew....

Here's the pitch....

Fastball low and away....and they connect solidly.

It's going, going, going....GONE!

Brian, you guys really stepped up the plate man.

I'll pitch in a few bones for that rod/piston combo!! Whose with me?

[spider_slayer]

this post has stired alot of emotion in me.

brian, you are a true hero just as all of the others who did what they did so they could save a life. just as those who worked long hours in new york did almost exactally 4 years ago. true heros are selfless and noble.

the media sickens me. it always has. but it has hit a critical point. they are calling those who will save someone reguardless of race, age and sex a racist! this is the dribble that is being fed to the mass public. the sad thing is that there is little any one can do about it. even worse many don't see anything wrong with the media.

then there are those who think that they are so poor off and so mistreated by life they will shoot at the selfless and noble. it makes me worry about the future of this country.

i don't know what to make of any of this yet. time will tell.

Hmm. This brings up a good issue. We just discussed this in my Business Law class night. Slander.
