Pappy, one can tell you're proud of your chosen branch of service, as well you should be. These young men and women are out there every day doing what they do and touching lives to great effect. I have a nephew who just received a Coast Guard commission so he's off and running and very proud! I sometimes wish I would have chosen Coast Guard over the "Chair Force" and almost went CG reserve after my separation from active duty, but didn't. It's just water under the bridge now. Thanks, Pappy, for your Coast Guard service and all others out there who served in the CG (and DoD types, too).
