With the loss of Rescue 1705 and the Marine Cobra and the shootings at Ft. Hood, this Veteran's Day is a little but more solemn than usual for me.
For the family and friends of Rescue 1705, As a 26 year active duty vet of the Coast Guard, I have witnessed an astounding amount of heroism. We operate under the unwritten rule that we have to go out, but we do not have to come back....As morbid as it sounds, it is a testimony of the determination the Coast Guard operates under everyday. We risk everything so others may stay safe.
Fellow Coasties - stand relieved, we have the watch. Rest in Peace.
For the Crew of the Marine Helo, your Family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers.
For the Fallen and injured at Fort Hood. You, your families and friends are also in our thoughts and prayers. I implore all to withhold judgment until all the facts are in and the investigation is over for this senseless act of violence.
For all those that have served and are currently serving. Thank you for what you do and have done, for I sleep better knowing my bothers and sisters in arms are keeping the watch, and our nation safe.
Finally for all Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Coasties in theater, Stay safe shipmates, keep a sharp mind, and be smart about what you are doing over there.
