(Doug: Whatever your faith, this weekend when you visit your place of worship please remember these men and all of the full-time and part-time reserve Coast Guard. In Southern Maryland we rely very heavily on these valiant folks, as I am sure they do in Hawaii. This event is particularly sad and it should not go unnoticed by the millions of us that use America’s waterways and depend so much on our Coast Guard. The next time you see a Coast Guardsman thank them for their service. God bless our Coast Guard and God bless the victims of this horrible accident.)
