Joe, We have had enough rain and bad storms to last the rest of the year. The creek that runs through my back yard has taken about 10 feet down along with 4 small trees, got a couple large trees with all the roots exposed on the creek side. Not much a guy can do with mother nature.

Terry- I hope your family & you are alright? Since,you are responding about loosing dirt & Small trees into your 'New River'? How close to the creek is your house,out buildings,cars/trucks & equipment? ;D If the 'Big trees are down & showing roots,it could divert the water towards you? Good luck,guy & take care! 8-)My best to you! Semper Fi-Marine-The Crazy Old Man- RichW/49

All- That is some idea? Make a "USMC AFFR Association " Patch? ;DSomeone was asking the question & if you look back -"All these Bases & outfits had their own distinctive patches'? We could make up something & submit it to an Ad Hoc Committee for review & selection of our new 'Crash Crew & Rescue' Patch? :PGuys- Something to think about? Need to start back with WW II-Ewa,Hawaii Islands,then move through North China,Guam,Pre-War ( Caribbean & Mediterranean),Korea, Middle East,French Indo-China &Vietnam, ----Continue on like MCAS,El Toro & Tustin,CA-MCAS,Miramar,CA-MCAS,Camp Pendleton,CA,MCAS,Yuma,AZ;MCAS, Kaneohe Bay,HI ?MCAS,Quantico,VA,MCAS,Edenton,NC,MCAS,Cherry Point,NC,MCAS,Beaufort,SC,MCAS,New River,NC,MCAS, Bogue Field,NC--Another old base-MCAS, Miami,FL(Opa Locka)-Overseas: MCAS,Iwakuni,Japan, MCAS, Futenma,Okinawa,Japan ---There are others that I can put there from St.Thomas,USVI & Roosie Rds.,Puerto ,Rico which were deployed bases from Cherry Point?

All- In my prior rant about a 'New USMC AFFR Patch';I don't know enough of what 'Outfits,bases & deployments' have & are enforce today? ;D Stretch you were called back in for the 1991 Gulf War & have a handle in what is going on? We need to bring the 'Active Duty Crash Crew Marines' into the organization;as well as recognizing their service? Many are spread around the 'Globe' & have been deployed numerous times? Be it Iraq,Afghanistan &/or other locations? 8-)SEMPER FIDELIS-the Crazy Old Man-RichW/49

Stretch- Thanks for the information on 'Coins' vs. Patches? I know that 'Coins' are a large part of current Collecting? Therefore,I can see that a 'Special Patch'for the USMC AFFR doesn't have to be developed.-The Crazy Old Man-Semper Fi-RichW/49
