Editor,
I am a relative of the Mahe small family who was lost on the Ashika. We are all very saddened by this terrible tragedy. We continue to pray for our family there in Tonga, as well as all the families of those lost.
We understand that the Australian and New Zealand Navies may not have the equipment available for recovery of the missing people. I live in the USA, and was wondering if there have been any requests for recovery assistance from the US Navy. There has been no mention of such, but seeing that many US residents and citizens have family members who are missing from this accident, wouldn't one think that perhaps the US would gladly lend assistance? Thank You, and God Bless!
