“I would just like to, on behalf of the family, tell the search and rescue group how much we do appreciate all these men who come out and volunteer their time. Done an awesome job, they kept us informed, they was out looking, rough terrain, these guys really know their stuff, and we really appreciate what these men do for our community on a volunteer basis, it’s really commendable.” Said Mayor Bradshaw.
