A Tribute to Volunteer Search & Rescue Teams

Brad Dennis from Klaas Kids and his search and rescue team took time off from their busy schedule and did a search and rescue training operation in Shreveport La. from 10/12 through 10/13/07. They had a dog and water team to do the search in coordination with the Shreveport La Fire Dept. They responded to a request from the grandparents of missing Christopher Michael Pierce. I went along with the family to Shreveport to give them moral support and learn the operations of a command post. We appreciate these men and women for the awesome job they are doing for Missing persons families. Chaplain/Rev. D.M. Barry

Note: Because of this effect in Oct by Brad Dennis (Klaas Kids Org) and the Bossier City Fire Dept, it lead to two vehicles being recovered of missing persons: one being Michael Christopher Pierce (our grandson) and one being Air Force Staff Sgt. Jeffrey L. Timmons. This happened on the Red River near the north ramp of the boat launch on Arthur Ray Teague Parkway in Bossier City La. Irish & Judy Downes

This is an awesome tribute. We do need to recognize the countless hours our volunteer Emergency Management Agencies, fire fighters, dog handlers and off duty police do in our counties, and cities across the country. And a special "thank you" to our chaplain volunteers out there too.

My thoughts and prayer continue to go out to Michael's family. Though I never knew Michael, he holds a special place in my heart. In all of this time of sadness, joy can be found in that Michael, through the Lord's blessing brings hope and promise to all who believe!
