Finally, someone gives long-overdue credit to our magnificent Coast Guard. I was in the U.S. Merchant Marine for ten years, and I can say that I saw firsthand the professionalism this branch of the armed forces displayed.

As you are watching the footage of Coasties proudly doing their jobs, remember that some of them lost their homes too. It is currently estimated that 70 Coast Guard families have lost their homes.
