Katie, on the third day after Sandy, I was part of a 104th Precinct Civilian Observation Patrol convoy bringing relief supplies to Breezy Point. My next stop was to visit my American Legion buddies, your parents on Beach 119th Street.

I could not believe the enthusiastic welcome they gave me. Mom wanted to feed me lunch! Sandy could not break their spirit. I asked them if they need anything. Mike said he needed black plastic bags to throw out everything that had been ruined in your basement. On my next trip that afternoon, I brought them a case of bags.

Our Patrol made one or two relief supply trips a day to Rockaway over the next week.
