US Coast Guard District 9 Chiefs Raise funds for Charity (EVERY Brown‘s home game) Long hours, no pay, cold/numb body, sore feet, sore back,… do these words equal FUN to you? Well they do to the District Nine Coast Guard Chief and their friends and family who meet at the Brown’s games each home game to “man the booth”.. #148 that is on level one at the end zone(opposite the notorious Dawg Pound). Arrival at the stadium is shortly after 9 AM & you walk out about 6PM or later, sharing funny stories of the day. Freeper and Coast Guard Master Chief OneLoyalAmerican( Chief Joe) is in charge and here is checking the list. Health & safety codes, keeping money straight, having “enough “ crew, doing the job right & smiling through it all is Joe’s job. He is from Chicago, employed by major university but was called up from the Reserves to Active duty in Cleveland where he keeps us safe working with the Coast Guard & homeland security. Here are the “Coasties” that deep fried Fries, grilled dogs/burgers/ served up beer & soft drinks along the way. The “job” also includes CLEAN UP at the end. Anyone who has any experience at all in a commercial kitchen knows how much “fun” this is. Below is the “whole crew”. They are: Chief Trish Feeney,Chief Sherry Housley, Chief Frank Magrans , Senior Chief Jane Akers, Commander James McLaughlin , Ensign Thomas Ayoub , Chaplain Commander Herb Griffin, Ellainia Griffin, Phillis Clipps , Philip Clipps , Chief(ret) Gary Seifert , Dorothy Seifert, Dolly Howard(DollyCali), and Master Chief Joseph Benning(OneLoyalAmerican) Below are Freepers DollyCali and OneLoyalAmerican & next pix Dolly Cali finishing the “popcorn detail”, which she learned was much easier than pouring draught beer or manning the cash register! Below you see Chief Joe (middle back) with some decked out Browns fans Yes, family and friends.. We really did work!!!! Now if you are visiting here & are a conservative & military supporter, why not register (free) and join us???? Post or lurk. You will like us to be sure And WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We beat the Ravens! Any fan of Cleveland sports knows what a frustrating thing it is to be a fan of pro sports in Cleveland. But our team pulled out the last game of season & I just so happened to be out to take a few “game shots“ when the winning touchdown of game is scored. See #86 (DENNIS NORTHCUTT) celebrating in end zone. He just scored a TD & celebrates with the rest of the fans A humorous front sport LARGE lettered headline that you will not see again this year, UNDEFEATED IN 2006 Cleveland Browns wide receiver Dennis Northcutt (86) walks off the field with quarterback Charlie Frye (9) after the Browns won their final NFL game of the season, 20-16 over the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, Jan. 1, 2006, in Cleveland. Go Browns !!!

Thanks for sharing. Great pictures. Maybe this is a new beginning for the Browns and they will stay undefeated in 2006.

Good evening DollyCali:

Thank YOU for volunteering some of YOUR valuable time helping us at the Tailgate Grill.

And let me take this opportunity to thank the Cleveland Browns, on behalf of the North Coast Chief Petty Officer's Association, for providing our volunteer organization with this fund raising venue.

Semper Paratus,
