Probably the most unsung heroes in America. I have no idea how they do what they do.

Yeah, it is amazing what they deal ,with. I used to watch that reality show on the coast guard in Alaska. It was stunning to see what they would deal with.

Coastie's are great and they do a lot.

Folks have no idea what the Coast Guard is responsible for all up and down our shores.

Unsung hero's every one.

They are awesome. They do amazing work and get so little attention.

But....eventually they'll try to intercept a drug boat in a harbor and shoot some gang members...then have liberals protesting them.

The Coasties have full police authority and routinely stop drug boats, often even getting into gun battles with them. We rarely hear about them but no few of them have given their lives or been wounded defending our country.
