Semper Paratus back at you, Kendall -- it's nice to know I'm not the only Coast Guard veteran lurking here. When and where did you serve?

My service was all peacetime (1977-81, 85-88), and all stateside, so while I appreciate the thanks offered on this thread, I think it should primarily go to those vets who served in times of crisis -- whether declared or not. I am as grateful to them as anyone.
