Do you know that the Coast Guards Academy is in New London, CT.

My late father was in the Coast Guards during WWorld War 2.

Thanks to your father for his service to our Country!

We had the great opportunity to visit the Coast Guard Academy in New London a few weeks ago.

Awesome place!

G’morning ‘Girl, Yes, I know the Coast Guard Academy is in New London, CT. I am from Stonington, CT — 12 miles East of NLON, was stationed on the U.S. Submarine Base, Groton, CT for 12 years of my 23 year career in the submarine force.

My brother was a career Coast Guardsman stationed aboard the Blackthorn — a bouy tender when it was hit in Tampa Bay by a ship. The Blackthorn went to the bottom of the bay taking more than twenty crew with it. My brother among them. Sadly none survived.
