Brian Nelson is my little brother! He is a very experienced boater & fisherman. Thinking of him & his family floating in the water for over 14 hrs brings tears to my eyes.... Thank God to all the angels who protect and serve! Brian had considered serving the coast guard as a younger man, but due to Don't Ask Don't tell it wasn't an option for long... ironic... THANK YOU AGAIN more ›
