on August 4, 2019A nice reminder of this important branch of the armed forces. I doubt the founding fathers could have foreseen the some of the roles the modern Coast Guard plays in battling drug smuggling on the one hand, and in rescuing people on pleasure crafts who run afoul of bad weather or their own ineptness or stupidity. Probably not as many pleasure craft back then...

on August 4, 2019Very neat find. The coast guard, I think, oftentimes are not as well thanked as other service members. Yet they do a very important job!
