Sometimes it’s best to let others tell the story.

The Missouri Senate honored two members of the Missouri State Water Patrol today for their heroic actions during recent flooding.  With the two officers seated on the benches at the side of the Senate chamber, Senator Chuck Purgason of Caulfield rose for a point of personal privilege.   We can’t tell the story of what these men did better than he did.  If you click on the audio link, you can hear him tell the story.   If you want to read a patrol news release about the incident and about the patrol’s work in all parts of the state during the floods, you can go to:
