Nah, it’s still there. It’s deep down inside all of us.

“The Coast Guard’s official history began on 4 August 1790 when President George Washington signed the Tariff Act that authorized the construction of ten vessels, referred to as “cutters,” to enforce federal tariff and trade laws and to prevent smuggling.” (USCG.mil) In his wildest dreams, I doubt President Washington could envisioned the incredible feats the Coast Guard is accomplishing today, or the capabilities of the awesome service he unleashed.

It doesn’t hurt that it also features shots from my old ship, the mighty USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73). Go to full screen and crank up the volume.

One was not enough for me, so I included two of them (click on the images). Each takes about ten minutes and both will get your heart pumping.
