Bro, you are the epitomy and example of one who is much more deserving than I IMHO. You were there at Klamath and you would not be detered in finding a way to reapp for our nation in the current crisis with your duty in the Coast Guard.
God bless you and yours my friend ... and may He continue to bless us all with the sweet blessing of liberty as long as there are folks like yourslef willing to stand tall for it!
