So, like Elaina I was going to post about why I joined the Coast Guard…but in sitting down to write it I got all tangled up because I have a little issue on Veteran’s Day. This isn’t USCG related, but I figured I would post it anyway. In light of recent conversations that I have been having with friends and co-workers, I have been extremely surprised as to how little people seem to know about why they have the day off. I even had someone who couldn’t tell me what [...] This was actually sent to me yesterday but life in the house got a little busy and then I had to work last night… so. None the less thank you to Mike Kilcoin for sending us this cover shot from the 2009 Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival. Mike also noted in his email- My son’s first [...] Welcome to another year of the Coast Guard’s existence. It was this day, oh so many years ago, that the Coast Guard was recognized as being what it is today. And though we celebrate August 4th as Coast Guard Day- starting in the year of 1790- our origins actually start on August 7, 1789 when [...] As a reminder we’re less than a month out from the Coast Guard’s Birthday of 4 August 2009. With that we’re looking to find out how you will be celebrating the day whether it be with your unit/command or family. If I’m not on watch (80% plus chance) I think we’ll be in Portsmouth, VA. You remember what today, the 4th of July, is all about right? I thought so- but for those of you who are only saying so to save face I got you back. There is no questioning the day that the Maritime Safety and Security Teams were born that the mission of the Coast Guard took a major shift. Regardless of such, today in 2002 was the day that MSST 91101 in Seattle was commissioned. From the Coast Guard historians site- Minimal postings as it’s time for sun (it’s too hot here in Chesapeake), family, and food. Enjoy the weekend and fireworks… I know you will, but I’ll say it again- BE SAFE! First things first- I/we didn’t forget about the 70th Anniversary of the United States Coast Guards Auxiliary. I feel so bad for not getting something out sooner… long story short, I did some housecleaning of the back end here on CGBlog, and, well, I deleted the post before it had a chance to present itself [...] We here at CGBlog would like to thank all of our mothers and especially our wives (those that are mothers, and I guess those that are not) for all that you do and all that you’ve done. Without your work we would all be, well, not here. Happy Mothers Day. |
