Coast Guard Day 2020
 |
Now that we're done it's much less sigificant to me over all ...
And the subject of more of those bad memories which make for an unhappy life.
Today is Coast Guard Day.
It's held each fourth of August to commemorate the founding of the United States Coast Guard. At that point in time — which was 1790 — it was known as the Revenue Marine.
It was initially built under the auspices of then Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton.
US Congress led by Hamilton authorized the building of a fleet of the first ten Revenue Service cutters, whose responsibility became enforcement of the first tariff laws enacted by the US Congress under the US Constitution.
