Coasties often get overlooked, so here’s a cool pic:
(Dec. 14, 2008) A Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter arrives to evacuate a merchant sailor who was injured on the Liberian cargo ship 'Marie Rickmers' from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). The Sailor was taken to Abraham Lincoln the previous night by a San Diego Coast Guard helicopter and medically stabilized before being flown to San Francisco for treatment. Abraham Lincoln is underway conducting training and carrier qualifications. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Colby Neal/Released)

My son was putting up a tribute to the Armed Forces on his MySpace the other day and I reminded him to not forget the Coasties. They do often get overlooked.
Also, is there a cooler sounding bird than those Dolphins?
