This
big thank you applies to all those
men and
women who serve and save others while in the world's various
rescue services (e.g. USCG, RNLI, Lifeboats, Coast Guards).
I would like to give thanks to all those brave sailors who
rescue others at sea and to those who man the shore stations too.
Whether by boat, lifeboat, merchantman, or aircraft, they all make the use of the seas safer for all mariners and sailors.
And I also thank those who developed and support and participate in the merchant
marine AMVER program too, as numerous sailors are saved or helped at sea by merchantmen who divert to provide assistance.
Thank you all!
