Two petty officers support a rescue victim as they await the arrival of a Coast Guard helicopter. The victim, who had been swept off a jetty, had to be carried over slippery and irregular terrain while he and the rescue party withstood pounding 20-foot waves. The victim sustained multiple injuries; nevertheless, he made a full recovery. The petty officer on the far right, Michael Leavitt, went on to become the 11th Master Chief Petty Office of the Coast Guard.
