EVERBODY (evacuees, reporters, etc) has had nothing to say but praise for the Coast Guard. They have been stellar
As a former Coast Guardsman, we know how to get things done with limited resources. The service always has been the lowest on the totem pole for ships, equipment and has been the stepchild by being shifted from agency to agency. Heck, the ship I was first stationed on was commissioned in the 1930's, was at Pearl Harbor on December 7, was sent to VietNam, and was finally retired in the 1980's!
