A few minutes later a call came from the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office to advise me they were going to deliver the medicine. Right after that came another call, this one Deputy Williams stating that he was on his way, but exactly how would he get to our house. Again the warning about the snowbound road with his repeat not to worry “we’ll get to you somehow.” But how? 1 wondered.
After making a big pot of hot coffee and putting film in my camera to record this event, there cam a knock on our door and there was Deputy Williams, smiling broadly, with my medicine. When I inquired how he got to the house he pointed to our parking area whelre one of those remarkable Army Humvees was sitting, with its powerful engine running quietly, and with two cheerful National Guardsmen in its operating seat. Competent and confident they appeared. Inquiry identified them as Staff Sergeants Michael Funderburk and Robert Kinnear of Fort Belvoir. All of this happened in less than two hours.
I believe this letter speaks not only for the Herndon family but also for those many others in our county who have undoubtly been so ably served, particularly in emergency situations, by members of our Rappahannock County Medical Center, Sheriff’s Office, our volunteer fire and rescue services, and, in some important times, with help from our National Guard, as in this referred-to incident.
