“Comfort” on the Way to Haiti

Prior to the earthquake in Haiti, in response to a negative comment on our military, we placed a comment on a personal Face Book.  We are somewhat defensive of those that serve us as members of the Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines at Medical Health Supply.  We commented on how Americans are willing to be generous and fight in the face of adversity. We commented on how the U.S. Military and other organizations swung in to action to organize and assist the people of Haiti.
Some of us at Medical Health Supply, Inc. have spent a great deal of time money in third world countries, building hospitals, shipping medical supplies and equipment and more.   The tragedy in Haiti is just unfolding.  Without clean water, medical supplies medical equipment, and appropriate medical staff and services, infectious disease will spread. 
Today, I noticed that the Navy’s “Comfort”, a hospital ship which supports 12 operating rooms and 200 beds, is heading toward Haiti.  In the face of the aftermath of an earth quake, infectious disease is apt to spread.  Cholera, typhoid, malaria, dengue fever, e. coli and more may be following in the wake of this human tragedy. 
It gives me some “Comfort” to know that the Navy and more support is on the way.
