Hello Everyone,
Royce asked me to get the word out that him and Betty are alive and
well after the recent tornado in Greensburg. Thankfully everyone in their
family is uninjured, however, their home has been completely destroyed.
They are currently staying with the neighbors, David and Diane, and can
be reached at 1**************. When trying to contact them please be
patient. Royce indicated that he wont be online for a few weeks as they
are still trying to get their bearings back and figure out what needs to
be done. Rest assured that they are doing well in the care of friends
and fema.
Regards,
Alan
GREENSBURG, Kan., May 9, 2007 –
Within four hours of the deadly tornado that struck this town under the cloak of darkness, Kansas National Guard servicemembers were called to duty to bring relief to their devastated neighbors.
Before the sun rose May 5 to allow responders to clearly see the extent of damage, 15 security forces personnel from the Kansas Air National Guard in Wichita were on the scene, providing law enforcement assistance to local authorities.
“We arrived to utter devastation,” said Master Sgt. Frank Cook, one of the first-wave responders with the 184th Security Forces Squadron, 184th Air Refueling Wing, Kansas Air National Guard, McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. “We worked to make a difference and protect what little property these people have left.”
The Air Guard security forces were joined by about 30 soldiers from the Battery E, 161st Field Artillery, Kansas Army National Guard, from Great Bend, Kan."
