    Dear U.S. Coast Guard
    Thank you for remembering Santo’s As always my thoughts and prayer’s are alway’s
    with his family. I worked with Santo’s in Emergency Service Truck #8 in Brooklyn. As
    always I am sure I speak for many fellow Active and retired ESU Officers. When we
    thank you, Petty Officer 2nd class Erik Swanson and canine Valentin be safe.

    May GOD continue to comfort all of the WTC families
