His wife, Debbie Millard, and their two kids are feeling proud and grateful. โYou know that theyโre doing great things for the people who lost their loved ones, trying to give them some peace and some closure, so that just really warms your heart knowing that theyโre doing such good things,โ Debbie Millard said. The team conducted extensive operations, including water and shoreline searches. โWe were assigned to the Missouri FEMA Task Force, and we were basically put in charge of all the water when we were there,โ said VBFD Capt.
