Thanks for posting that Rocky!!!

Thanks for Starting the Thread Ken.
We have 48 Rhode Islanders missing in Haiti and most are students and Aid workers.

For a small state like us it effects the whole community.

Semper Fi Brother,

Thats the info that I got from her boss. But she can't go so oh well. We found out shes pregnant.

They probably usually don't... but given the severity of the situation and the amount of Americans that seem to want to help, I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that they might donate their expertise and equipment.

That must be sarcasm.

[Hotel4341]

That must be sarcasm.

The little they have could save thousands of lives, not to mention provide valuable real world training so if something like this occurs in the US they are more prepared. No, it was not sarcasm.

Been following the news and the situation in Haiti is absolutely heartwrenching. Supplies have not reached anyone yet, dead bodies line the streets, they are lacking both food and water, families torn apart and not knowing where loved ones are. Very difficult to watch.
