As you know, she is a great shipmate and a caring and talented nurse! <BR/><BR/>Diane doesn't 'toot her own horn,' so it took me a long time to learn more about her 'service record.' She volunteered in Kuwait and many other risky areas. She was part of the 1st DMAT (Florida) team on the ground in New Orleans as helicopters dropped off the gravely ill by the hundreds at the airport. And she always comes back for more, supported and encouraged by her wonderful husband, Carmine.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, Diane is not only a friend, but a true hero to me! <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks, Captain Bob! Continued good luck to you in your wonderful work and inspired leadership on the MERCY!<BR/><BR/>Michele Okamoto<BR/>Honolulu, HImohawaiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535556531185025098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540901373781935043.post-34229684726069470382008-07-23T07:37:00.000-07:002008-07-23T07:37:00.000-07:00«HOPE - Health Opportunities for People Everywhere...«HOPE - Health Opportunities for People Everywhere», what a great project!

I admire people like Diane Speranza; they rattle us up, and give us the signals, that we can do more than we do right now, just to put our heart and mind into it. Looking over your personal "border", seeing the needs of people in your immediate surrounding and start one step at a time.<BR/>Thanks for sharing such an uplifting blog, life is more difficult anywhere else but in your home, people need to see and realize that. <BR/><BR/>You take good care of your people on this vessel, and yourself, you all are doing so much good, only receiving people can appriciate it to the fullest, but you have the satisfaction of "yey, I helped".<BR/><BR/>Thanks for keeping us updated,<BR/><BR/>Renate Di-Do :)Navy Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488406687843584496noreply@blogger.com
