Say A Prayer For Our Guardians

Today a United States Coast Guard C-130 crashed into the Pacific Ocean during a search and rescue mission. A Marine Corps helicopter was also lost. The two aircraft reportedly collided.

Nine crew members are missing and the search is on in earnest. Coast Guard C-130 aircraft often work closely with Amver ships, helping direct them to distress locations.

Nine families will not have someone come home tonight. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
