BUMP The Coast Guard has been quietly doing it's job and has rescued over 4,000 people...while not being there far too late in a scale way too small of course. Which is why the media doesn't report stuff like that.
When the stories trickle out (no pun intended) we're going to have things to be ashamed of, but ALOT to be proud of, too. There are heroes in this mix, too, I think we've forgotten.
