HAPPY BIRTHDAY U.S. COAST GUARD!!!

From a Coast Guard "brat". My late stepfather was a 14 year vet stationed

in Spain, Galveston TX , Charleston and Sullivan's Island SC. We lived on Sullivan's for almost 10 years,

was a cool place to grow up.

I spent a lot of time here and got to go up in the lighthouse on Sullivan's Island a bunch of times,

Plus a lot of boating, sailing, exploring,fishing and scuba diving.

I have relatives in town and only a few minutes to surf and check mail all weekend. No fun! (they are leaving Wed. :-) )

Thanks, wolf, for sharing your Coast Guard family experiences. Thanks to your stepfather for his service to our country. And thank you too for your service.

Wolfie. Did you grab a cup of coffee while you were browsing?
