A Proud Aunt!


I blogged about my niece Jenny Fields, a lieutenant in the US Coast Guard who flies helicopters, shown below with my grandson George.


Jenny took part in the rescue of the crew of the HMS Bounty off the coast of NC and if you'd like to see the ABC News video, click HERE!


Yup, I'm a proud aunt.... and one who is very glad she is safe!

    How cool! Your niece is VERY brave and a true hero. Let's hope no more rescues are necessary, though!

      I just had a flash as I posted the first comment about how she is a woman doing that job! Reading over the entry's in the Women's Rights quilt blog, isn't it awesome how far we have come? Maybe you should give her a version of the quilt!

    Good morning! I saw the news report last night, but on another network. Even so, I felt that she must have been a part of that, so close to home. I'm in awe of her courage...she's a hero, and you should be proud!

    What a great rescue Freda, you really can be proud of her.
    I saw a few days ago on the news here that the bounty was laying in the risk area.

    Oh my word. That is breath-taking. I've always maintained that the Coasties are the unsung heroes of the US.

    I agree with JoAnne that it's amazing what women can do if they're given the chance. Your family has every right to be proud.

    Amazing. You have a right to be so proud. JoAnne is such a hero and I am showing this video to my granddaughter to let her know that women can be heros, too.

    You should be very proud that was one very heroic effort on the part of the Coast Guard. They did us all proud.
