Great job Sara! Thanks for your bravery, courage, and dedication to service. You make me very proud to be part of DHS. You're an inspiration to us all!
Sara rocks! I saw her get a much deserved medal for her work and was total surprised at how small she is! Look at the video again and notice how she swings into the apartment from the outside via the balconey. The baby's parents just thrust him into her arms MID-SWNG - she never put her feet on the floor - then she swung right back out with him and on up into the helicopter! Now you know why she was terrified of dropping him!
Hey Sara... I was doing some research on Katrina and found this. I just wanted to let everyone know that you did one hell of a job performing your duties as a rescue swimmer. I look back at my pics every once and a while and still get the chills. Hope all is well, John

Hurricane season is upon us again....
I hope you don't have to make so many rescues this year. People need to evacuate when warned!
Thanks for your hard work.
