Since helping close the El Toro Marine Airbase in California, then retiring and moving here to the Midwest, it has been quiet as far as helicopters go. But when one comes to town, I always hear it coming. It lands right here in Sibley Iowa at the Osceola Community Hospital. I thought folks who have not ever seen what happens after it lands, would feel comfortable to see the action.
Thanks to the Sanford Trauma Helicopter medical team and it’s pilot of the day, Pat Hall. He is also a Military veteran, and I thank him for his service. Continuing to preserve life, as he does here, is commendable and above and beyond the call of duty.
Today was a nice day, but when howling winds and snow comes, it is very dangerous.
Thanks to the Osceola Community Hospital, its nurses, doctors and employees also.
We all wish the patient good health too.
