Is that the 38th Battalion's station wagon?

I was not yet on the job when this tragedy occurred, I responded as an EMT. I'll never forget how hard the Brothers worked to aid all who were injured as well as to attempt to locate those who were missing. Even though we treated and transported survivors, I really felt helpless as the...
