CLEARWATER, Fla. - Petty Officer 1st Class Kelly Salls, of Port Security Unit (PSU) 307, stationed in Clearwater, Fla., greets her daughters, Feb. 25, 2010, after returning home from a 37-day deployment to Haiti. With 48-hours of notice, 118 crewmembers of Coast Guard port security units from Clearwater, Fla., Everett, Wa., and San Pedro, Calif., deployed to Haiti, providing security while several Coast Guard units re-established the port in Port-au-Prince after a devastating 7.0 earthquake struck Jan. 12, 2010. While there, the units volunteered with local orphanages to provide medical attention and medicine to injured Haitians and helped to rebuild a hospital in Petionville, Haiti.
