I am so thankfull to the U.S coast guard they saved my one son without them both would be gone.

It makes me sick that when they did find the boys they only took one to shore and by the time they came back kevin was gone!

The boy is 15 not 17. The 17 year old is now in the hospital with phenomena. Outside people had to seek out volunteers to search by helicopter, waterjets etc. Look how far the coast guard had to come! I agree with Hogie reinstate WRT.

It makes me sick to know that the Board and Chief of Nestucca Fire Dist disbanded the water rescue team last year. This boy could have been saved if the Fire Dept had not stayed on the beach and watched with binoculars. Nestucca needs to reinstate the WRT to save lives. This is the second death since disbanding. The bottom line is that Water Rescue Teams Save Lives.
