Heroes in a time of need

More than a Coast Guard�-�Editorials/Op-Ed�-�The Washington Times, America's Newspaper My navy friends laugh about "shallow-water sailors." But from what I've seen and read, if there is one group who has performed with consistently outstanding work in Katrina, it has been the Coast Guard. I think it is because they went to work, ignored red tape and don't have "ask for forgiveness" in their lexicon. In other words, they ACT.

My picture of the Coast Guard is the rescuer hanging on a cable, going between houses to get to a window to rescue someone. Maybe some of the pols should watch that film. The pilot and rescuer deserve big, bright, shiny medals.
