Harbor Patrol Officer Paul D. Korber

I had no idea and I live right there on the other side of the street on a boat. The harbor patrol guys are awesome. I’ve seen them in action when Boats are in trouble and at slow times having to deal with people who wander in. I saw them with a car stuck out in the sand. They could have towed it and ticketed the guy and I was surprised they didn’t. It was an older guy that looked to be homeless and they painstakingly dug him out by hand. I just 2 nights ago discovered it’s the fireman in Oxnard just south a few miles at firehouse 51 that respond for boats in trouble of washing up on those rocks. They show up barefoot in wetsuits with only a helmet and get ready to jump in if anyone gets thrown overboard. I’m not surprised to hear that this officer dived into such danger, I only wish I had learned of it sooner as just a few months prior it was the 20th anniversary of his heroic deed. I would like to hear that the woman and her children escaped such fate. Before I do that or anything else I’m walking over there to honor his sacrifice.

-God bless you and your families and Thank you for your service.
