I agree with rosey, its awesome to hear that people are saving lifes, and getting everyones back. They are a team, thats what they need to be to be successfull. These guys but their lives at stake everyday, and they are proud of it. And all of the citzens in the U.S should be proud of them as well, no matter the circumstances.
