Nah. You’re just under the DHS umbrella to make some politicians happy. You’re not really part of DHS.
Since I don’t live on the coast, it’s easy for me to forget about the Coast Guard. Yet, when I see footage of the rescues, I’m often left speechless. There is no way I could do what you do. I get motion sick just watching the Coast Guarder dangling out of the helicopter. Thanks to you and your coasties for risking your lives for ours.
The Coast Guard in the Gulf are a bunch of freakin’ heroes.
Thanks for the info. I am sorry about the loss of your friend.
My stepson’s in the Coast Guard, stationed now in Corpus Christi. Unfortunately, he’s on medical leave, and not participating is killing him. This is what those guys live for.
Now we know that guys name. He is Petty Officer Joel Sayers. He and his fellow crews down there were just named ABC News’ Person of the Week.
