    Congratulations, Landon! I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. The best part of my life was in the guard.
    Please visit my site on our voyage back in “1966″.
    The site has many items, home page is about our mission. Everything else is interesting to go through, meaning you’ll be able to see the past, the present and hopefully the future if you decide too re-up (stay in).
    Enjoy your time in the Coast Guard.
