"These men and women continue to dedicate their lives to save and assist our community. We are honored to support them with these much-needed resources."
Mr.. Fournier also thanked the territory's leaders — Governor Albert Bryan and Lieutenant Governor Tregenza Roach — along with agency and department heads "for their leadership during these very challenging times.”
