At random: In World War II the Germans lost 782 submarines, the Japanese lost 130, Great Britan and Commonwealth countries lost 88 subs, Russia lost 110 submarines and the United States lost only 52 submarines. Twenty-three of the Japanese subs lost were victims of the American Submarine Service.

JACKSON, Mich. — A Navy medic who stopped to calm a woman whose husband was having a heart attack — and helped an ambulance crew perform CPR on the man en route to a hospital — ended up with a $60 towing bill.

Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Tim Moore was driving on April 2 from his home in Concord to a Navy recruitment office when he saw an ambulance parked on eastbound Interstate 94 near Jackson, the Jackson Citizen Patriot reported.

He said he pulled over to try to help calm the woman, who was near the ambulance. When the rescuers learned of Moore’s medical training, they asked if he would help administer CPR on the way to Foote Hospital.

“I pulled over in a bit of a hurry," said Moore, who since has returned to Camp Lejeune, N.C. “Of course, when they asked me to do CPR, I just locked the truck and didn’t really think about moving it."

The man died in the emergency room.

When Moore returned to the side of the interstate two hours later, the truck was missing. It turns out the truck — parked partly over the white line marking the side of the road — was considered a travel hazard and towed.

Jackson County Undersheriff Tom Finco said deputies tried to call Moore before the tow, but there was no answer at the number they had on record. The charge was levied by a company that handled the tow.

“It’s very unfortunate he stopped to do a good deed and that’s what happened," Finco said, “but we definitely don’t want his vehicle left there and hit by another car traveling down the ramp."

Moore said he was a little upset at the time. Now, he says: “It’s only $60."

This happened a few weeks ago, and the Corpsman's truck was returned to him without charge, and the local sheriff is the one who initiated the return. If I remember correctly from the newspapers, it took a day or two to get his truck back to him, with the sheriff's appology.

The guy did all us Corpsmen proud. He took the inconvenience in stride and just went about his business. I'm glad the sheriff made it right and got the fee waived or paid for out of the slush fund.
I hope they notified his Gunny of what he did.
