Default Belated Happy Birthday, USCG

Oops. This was in the evening email. Looks like we missed the day.....

*******

Here is a Bill we can all support! http://www.uscg.mil/history/USCGBill.html
Thankfully the gosh darn partisan politics did not kill this one as
surely would have happened in today's so called "modern" world.
Semper Paratus!


Anniversary of modern USCG
On January 28, 1915, President Woodrow Wilson signed into law the bill
creating the modern US Coast Guard http://www.uscg.mil/history/
USCGBill.html. On that date, the Revenue Cutter Service was merged
with the Life-Saving Service and the combined organization was named
the United States Coast Guard. Semper Paratus! HKLAW
