ASM3 James G. Caines
Jamie Caines gave his life on his first SAR case off Cape Mendicino,
CA. on the night of June 8, 1997. His goal was to be the best that he
could be. His wife Crystal and son Josh will always remember him as a
hero. Crystal will be forever sad that she did not get to see his
face when he came home after his first SAR. He died doing a job that
he had waited over two years to do and was the fastest swimmer qualified
at GROUP Humboldt Bay. The hangar at Air Station Savanah was dedicated
in his memory on Feburary 21, 1998. The dedication ceremony was
beautiful and final for all of us. Jamie and the two pilots were
not brought back, but our hearts and love will keep them allive for
forever. We miss and love you Jamie. We will take care of Crystal
and Josh and they will want for nothing. I got to meet Jamie's
family and all of his wife's family who are just the most wonderful
families. They embraced me as a member of their family and I and my
family return that feeling ten fold. Your memories are with us for
forever.

Today is the first anniversary of the crash of #6549 off the coast of
California. The four crewman, Jeff Crane, Mr. Thigpen, Rick Hughes and
James Caine. With our hearts full of sorrow and memories, we remember
this day with sadness for the friends that we lost and memories of happy
times. All men have been truly missed. We will always wonder why or
what happened, but in our hearts they were doing a job they loved to do.

We are now in the process of building a memorial building dedicated to all
the men that we have lost here at Humboldt Bay. It will be a large glassed
in building with a section for each man about his life. We are building
with donations from the Chiefs and many other people who donated. It is
built out of the love that we feel for each man that gave his life to save
another and to pass on that memory for all to see. We want their families
to know that they are not forgotten and never will be.
