    HAPPY BIRTHDAY all you Coasties....

    Happy Birthday, Coast Guard!!


    I've been desperate in the past month to "stream" the movie "The Finest Hours" but with no luck, but haven't given up. I heard it's a really good movie, and I hope truly representative of our coast guard.

    It's better for the CG then "Onion Head" was, but still has moments that are "made for tv"
