Awesome! The Coast Guard lived up to its full potential and promise. A brilliant display by our most altruistic branch in this most historic moment!

Thanks for the ping, Tonk!
We heard a report this morning on one of the MSM news channels that a team of 12 Exxon employees save 1,000 people EACH with two skiffs and two pontoon boats.
Incredible rescues, all.

5,000 of those rescues were by hoist - All of those lives were saved by the crews of just 17 helicopters, during 1,500 flight hours in the air.
Truely amazing.

I'm retired. But my son, is active duty and arrived about a week and a half ago at Zephyr Stadium in Jefferson Parish and is making forays into the city, knocking on 2nd floor windows. They've pulled several folks out of their attic's. He has seen every state in the Union represented and is very proud to be there. We are very proud of him.

Thanks for the ping Tonk!
I watched most of this happening live on the TV and Internet.
Go USCG!
