To the Editor:

This is just a note of gratitude and appreciation to the Barnegat Light Beach Patrol and the Barnegat Light First Aid Squad in handling our grandson’s unfortunate accident at the Barnegat Light ocean beach last week.

Our grandson was swimming in the shallow ocean waves and suddenly a wave threw him down and he crashed onto the ocean floor. He was able to get up on his own but he immediately complained of pain in the area of his collar bone.
