    Do you know if the strike team Andy is on is Search & Rescue or Wildland Fire? We have federal teams for both. If he is search & rescue than it is Missouri Task Force.

    I will have to send you a shirt then to trade. Can you email me where you want it sent? I did not think you wanted your address in the open comments section.
