Aide from all over the world has been flooding into Haiti after the earthquake, and we talked to one man from Amarillo, who's helping make relief possible.

U.S. Sailor Logan Holman of Amarillo, spent January 25 through February 7 in Haiti helping to send over 3000 pounds of medical supplies, over 80,000 jars of baby food ,over 1 million pounds of rice and more.

Holman said he's loved his experience in the navy, and enjoys the thrill of helping those in need.

He said, "I know about everyday we were constantly sending all kinds of supplies ashore, we sent a whole bunch of marines to build a medical facility to continue helping after we even left."

From all of us at ProNews 7 we'd like to thank Sailor Holman and all brave men and women in the armed forces.
