Peace Keepers



"There is nothing so likely to produce peace
as to be well prepared to meet the enemy."

George Washington
First President of the United States of America

I am thankful for the U.S. Coast Guard that is stationed at Coos Bay. We see their presence daily as they practice in their boats and helicopters, patrolling the coastline, and preparing for emergencies.

For a short time (about a year during high school) I thought I might join the Coast Guard. My father had been in the Coast Guard and it sounded like an interesting and challenging experience. Luckily for me, my parents talked me into college instead...it's where I met, Erik. And, the rest is history.
