Seeing I jumped the gun last week, to-day is the day.
:patriotic-flagwaver :salute :patriotic-flagwaver
:happybday
On this day, 4 August 1790, what is now the U.S. Coast Guard was created.
Happy 222nd Birthday to our Sister Service.
Semper Paratus.

Lorin asked:
Nope.
My fireman neighbor wasn't home.
I was afraid if I lit all 222, yep, 222, there would be a conflagration that my insurance agent just wouldn't understand.
Besides, I don't think I would get many lit before the first ones started burning out.
So, I'll just forget the candles, and let the Coasties fire 222 rounds from a Cutter, chasing a drug runner.
I do have a step-grand-daughter who is a Coastie.
She has been in about 9 years.
She is also on the stations golf team.
I think that's why they keep her.
