Nobody ever thinks about the Coast Guard until they need them. Simply forgot us for years, probably because our uniforms were just like the Navy’s except for the Treasury shield on our sleeve. Nice to see more attention in the last couple of decades. But I could do without the transgender issue. I’ve been retired for 20 years but still feel like a coastie.
Thank-you for your service.
The current CG is over tasked, undermanned, underfunded, and suffers from mission creep. But God bless the men and women who suck it up and sacrifice every day!
