Here is an excerpt from the letter of nomination for Gary Hunt for the award: "There is another side of Mr.
Hunt....Gary is a member of his church's Disaster Relief Chain-saw Team.
Gary is known as a "blue hat", which indicates he has spent many weekends
and money out of his own pocket traveling to training sessions. As
such, he has used his annual leave at different times to lead the disaster
relief team to Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Vidor, TX, to assist in
hurricane relief efforts. Gary's team performs hurricane damage
clean-up by removing fallen trees, limbs, and debris from houses, cars,
yards.
