Breaking News:

On Friday May 14, 2010 the U.S. Senate unanimously passed Resolution 526 which honors the men and women who perform Search and Rescue throughout the United States. The Resolution specifically acknowledges the role that professionals and volunteers provide to our country, and sets aside the week of May 16 to May 22, 2010 as National Search and Rescue week. Also, it encourages the people of the United States to observe and hold ceremonies and activities that promote awareness and appreciation of the role SAR personnel provide for their communities. Senator Ron Wyden was one of many sponsors of this landmark bill. Please see the attached link for more details.  http://cantwell.senate.gov/news/record.cfm?id=324974
