I'll need a driver for those 11 work days. Thanks, Roger Stone Logistic, UTMB 409-772-1153

Roger is a great man for what he did. The word hero gets thrown around quite a bit. But Roger was definitely a hero. He sacrficed his life to safe the live of others. My heart goes out to his family. He was a husband and father, and his family will remember him as a hero as well.
