I'm sorry to tell you, but the U.S. Coast Guard is part of Homeland
Security.

I know that. But it used to be in the Treasury Department. After all, they
were at one time called revenue cutters.

"used too"? Things have changed - a lot! ...And not for the better. The

An interesting comment from someone posing a Coastie. So what would you do
