Appendix ruptured at sea ...Navy to the rescue!

Laura Montero, 14, fell ill aboard the Dawn Princess cruise ship off the coast of Baja California. Her appendix ruptured at sea, hundreds of miles from help; she got safely to shore this past Tuesday December 18 after an unusual rescue in which the Navy airlifted her from a cruise ship for emergency surgery.

Does this type of unusual rescue occur frequently? How does one thank the Navy heros of our day?

Family is the best thing in life.

Apparently the Navy does these kinds of procedures all the time. I was watching the Fox and Friends News and a naval officer said they performed an emergency appendectomy one week prior to Ms. Montero's emergency surgery.

I think it's important for all people, whether or not they have been personally helped by the Navy or not, to thank a serviceman for all that they do. If it were not for them and all their hard work, we would not be able to live peacefully in America.
