Rescue Narratives

Unless noted otherwise, each author of narratives included herein retains all intellectual property rights normally accruing to any author, and specifically the rights and protections provided by National and International Copyright law. Any copying, reproduction or publication not authorized by the respective author is a violation of law and subject to prosecution under appropriate statutes. Making the material available on the Internet should not be construed as diminishing or vacating any of the author's rights and specifically does not release the author's creation into the public domain unless so noted on and for a specific narrative

Participants in any SAR effort may submit a personal narrative of the experience, but good order and decorum require adherence to the following:

• You may submit a narrative directly to combatsar_webmaster@yahoo.com, as e-mail or as an attachment.
• Each document submitted for the Narratives must contain in the heading or Title, either a:
  • Valid Copyright notice, (which is defined as:
    • the word Copyright; [Use of the © symbol is pointless as it will not stand in lieu of the word and adds nothing to it.]
    • the four-digit year in which the document was created; and
    • the name of the person or entity claiming the Copyright protection.); or,
  • a statement from the author releasing the work into the public domain.
• Always include your name and the name and date of the SAR. (Multiple days on the same SAR are worthy of multiple Narratives.)
• Be a good story teller, strike a balance between wordiness and terseness.
• Never identify any other individual closer than callsign.
• Do not use the Narratives as a forum for acrimony, propagandizing or agendizing.
• Gratuitous vulgarity is the cherished tool of Hollywood's writers, but if you feel it is required in the telling of the story...
• Every good story has a moral or point or lesson learned. Share it with us. ("I learned about SAR from this")
• In the final analysis, it is your story; tell it the way you want it told.
