Thank you: First responders

I want too give a big “thank you” to all the responders who took care of two critically injured women from Bluffton after a severe accident on May 7 in Calhoun County. We are so blessed in this day and age to have EMS, a hospital that is a trauma center, trauma surgeons and nurses and all the ancillary personnel who worked as a team to save their lives. I was so moved when I saw the photo of the Deweys returning home after only two weeks.

We as a population of today are very grateful. A heartfelt thank you and blessings to all of you who were involved.
