Dave and Linda have helped the people of Guam recover from several natural disasters since their arrival on Guam. including Supertyphoon Paka in 1997. and Typhoon Chataan and Supertyphoon Pongsona in 2002. The Salvation Army donated thousands of dollars of food. clothing. and supplies through their efforts to many residents who lost everything as a result of these natural disasters. The organization under their leadership also assisted in providing humanitarian assistance to the Kurdish refugees who were evacuated from Iraq to Guam as part of Operation Pacific Haven in 1996. and to Burmese refugees who came to Guam to seek political asylum in the United States in 2000. Additionally. the Salvation Army Guam Corps. under the Harmons leadership in 1997. provided critical assistance in the aftermath of the tragic crash of Korean Air Flight 801 on Guam. The Harmons helped establish the substance abuse recovery program which eventually became known as the Lighthouse Recovery Center.
